Mediocre collection of alleged humour from someone who should have kept their stuff in the desk drawer, and stuck to wrestling with semicolons (to borrow from the title story). Don't bother.

Witty and deftly drawn parodies from a literary legend Roger Angell has a long history with the New Yorker: the son of fiction editor Katharine White and the stepson of E. B. White, Angell has spent decades writing and working for the magazine, to which he has contributed across genres and gained special renown for his essays on baseball. With A Day in the Life of Roger Angell, the author's gifts as an urbane humorist come to the fore. The pieces here include two of Angell's famous Christmas poems, parodies--of horoscopes, sports broadcasts, and Lawrence Durrell--and a tense correspondence over a short fiction contest that pays only in baked goods. Combined, these miniatures form a funny and charming chronicle of Manhattan life, as experienced both on the ground and in the city's most literary circles.
