    About this ebook

    "Peeps at People" is a collection of 28 short stories taking up different sides of human life. The essays were originally published and were a great success in The Bookman and the New York Evening Post, for which Robert Cortes Holliday, the author, worked as a columnist. The stories were inspired by the usual scenes of life in New York at the beginning of the twentieth century: a conversation overheard at the post office or a visit to the barbershop. They are a treasury of conventional wisdom rendered with a good portion of light humor.

      May 23, 2021

      Karl Stead, poet, critic, fiction writer and memoirist, keeps saying he has been told he could cark it at any moment – a matter of his wonky heart – then he doesn’t cark it at any moment. He is 88. I think he will go on not carking it until he is 99,
