Autorenporträt

Ellis Parker Butler (1869–1937) was an American author, best known for his humorous writings and playful style. Born in Muscatine, Iowa, Butler explored various vocations before discovering his true calling in the literary world. His breakout moment came with the publication of his short story 'Pigs is Pigs' in 1906. This delightful tale of bureaucratic stubbornness and a railway agent's battle with guinea pig classification quickly became a beloved classic, showcasing Butler's penchant for wit and his satirical edge. The story's immense popularity spawned adaptations and secured his place among the era's notable humorists. Butler's literary style often reflected the simplicity and charm of everyday life, earning him comparisons to Mark Twain. Although 'Pigs is Pigs' remains his most enduring work, Butler was a prolific writer, penning more than 30 books and 2,000 stories and essays. His works capture the essence of early 20th-century American life, with its idiosyncrasies and societal mores. Butler's creative legacy lives on through his works, remembered for their capacity to evoke laughter and highlight the absurdities of the human condition.
