  The tales that make up Seven Men and Two Others start out as a set of faux memoirs set amid London literary life in the precious fin de siecle era and proceed into deliciously absurd fantasy. With a sense of fun, a hint of nostalgia, razor-sharp satire, and pitch-perfect parody, Beerbohm tugs at the affected nature of the whole literary scene--lamentable authors, wily agents, and preposterous weekend salons.
