Autorenporträt
Don Marquis, born July 29, 1878, in Walnut, Illinois, was a revered American author, humorist, poet, and journalist, well known for his creation of the characters 'Archy' and 'Mehitabel'. His body of work cleverly weaves social commentary with satirical wit. Marquis began his career contributing to the Atlanta Journal, later moving to New York City where he worked for various newspapers including The Evening Sun and The New York Tribune. His writing spanned several genres, with a defining trait being his keen sense of humor and a penchant for addressing issues through allegory and satire. 'The Cruise of the Jasper B' remains one of his notable works, an adventurous tale that directly reflects Marquis' literary style-a blend of playful narrative and underlying astute observation of the human condition. The book follows the escapades of Cleggett, revealing Marquis' ability to engage readers with a mix of whimsy and excitement while critiquing contemporary society. Don Marquis' contributions to American literature are cemented by his unique talent to entertain and provoke thought, ensuring his place among the memorable humorists of the 20th century. He passed away on December 29, 1937, leaving a legacy of work that continues to be celebrated for its creativity and insight.
