"Really FUN book from the 20's about a cockroach and a cat - both with the "souls of humans" who love to sing about alcohol.
There is definitely some social commentary, and its very funny. The whole book is written in prose. I believe its actually a collection of submissions to a paper or publication by Don Marquis.
I need to own this book. Its worth a second, and even third read!"
"The joyful adventures and ruminations of a small cockroach named Archie, who contains the transmigrated soul of a free verse poet. Includes Archie's reportage on the antics of Mehitabel the Cat, who may or may not have been Cleopatra in a previous life.
back a while back before WWII there were amusing things like this in the newspapers... can you imagine?"
"Undeniably this is classic stuff, but an anthology of three book-length collections of archy's typewriter-diving ruminations is too much to take at once. Every literate person should have some familiarity with archy and mehitabel. Some of it is brilliant, some of it is ordinary, and it's best waded through a little at a time. "Toujours gai," eh wot?"
