If

This book is a collection of humorous essays and parodies that lampoon the literary conventions of the early 20th century. The authors, Charles Larcom Graves, Edward Verrall Lucas, and George Morrow, poke fun at popular genres, including detective stories and romance novels. The title essay, 'If', imagines an absurd scenario in which each condition provides a crazier outcome than the last. This book is a fun and entertaining read for anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
