Autorenporträt
Ellis Parker Butler (1869–1937) stands as a notable figure in American literature, often remembered for his humorous and satirical writings. Born in Muscatine, Iowa, Butler's early life informed the homespun wit and charm that would characterize his literary work. Though initially engaged in a plethora of odd jobs, including banking and advertising, Butler found his true calling in writing. His breakout success came with the publication of the short story 'Pigs is Pigs' in 1906, which exemplifies his playful use of language and comically exaggerated scenarios. 'Goat-Feathers' is among his other noteworthy works, wherein Butler delves into the follies of procrastination and the human penchant for unnecessary worrying, offering readers both laughter and philosophical musings. Butler's prolific career spanned over three decades, during which he penned more than 30 books and 2,000 stories and essays. His literary style, often compared to that of Mark Twain, resonated with a wide audience, and his influence extended to his tenure as the president of the Authors League of America. Despite fluctuations in popularity, Butler's work continues to attract those who appreciate the blend of humor and subtle critique of the foibles of his time.
