Description
Brilliantly lays bare the hypocrisies of American society and displays a razor-sharp wit to rival that of Bierce's contemporary Mark Twain.
About the Author
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) was an American short story writer and journalist. He is probably best known for his story 'An Occurrence at Owl Creek', published in 1890. In 1913 he went to Mexico in order to observe the civil war there. Whilst travelling with Pancho Villa's army in 1914, he vanished without a trace.
Reviews
The corrosive insights of Bierce seem as bitter and fresh as ever. He handles words with delicious precision. * The Daily Telegraph *
