About This Podcast

Robert Benchley (1889-1945) was a celebrated writer, humorist, and actor who left his mark on the literary scene from the 1920s to the early 1940s. Hailing from Massachusetts, Benchley began his career in New York City, where he worked as an editor, critic, and columnist for many prominent magazines of his time. A notable member of the famed Algonquin Round Table alongside luminaries like George Kaufman, Dorothy Parker, and Harpo Marx, his wit and humor resonated with audiences, leading him to explore careers in radio and film in California later in life. Influencers of humor such as James Thurber, Woody Allen, and Dave Barry have all acknowledged Benchleys impact on their work. Love Conquers All, originally published in 1922, is the second of his fifteen collections, showcasing a delightful array of his humorous essays and reviews. While some references may feel dated, the surreal yet familiar targets of his wit continue to entertain. This volume compiles 63 sparkling pieces from his early career, when Benchleys enthusiasm and distinctive style were truly flourishing. (Summary by Ted Delorme)
