In one of his independent pieces Miles Kington once referred to a volume of Edward Lear's limericks translated into French. Not an easy task, you might think, and in translating "Alphonse Allais" into English, Miles Kington set himself a similar challenge. He carried it off with panache. As Max Harrison said in "The Times", '...has done a difficult job well, even preserving some of Allais' puns'. Alphonse Allais has been described as the greatest humorous writer ever. In the words of Lisa Appignanesi, 'Allais was a consummate absurdest. From an ordinary phenomenon, simple sentiment or situation, he would logically deduce the looniest, most macabre and most unexpected result...His humor kept all Paris, high and low, waiting breathlessly for the paper which would carry his next tale...'On first publication, in 1976, Clive James in the "Observer" said 'Allais has been dead 70 years but his mocking tone ensures him a permanently relevant after-life'. And John Sturrock in the "New Statesman", 'Allais stands, along with Jarry, at the head of the most dazzling and highly educated tradition of French humor, as witty as it is whimsical'. Faber Finds offers this rare book as a tribute not only to Alphonse Allais but also Miles Kington, two great humorists in tandem.
