About
In "The Illiterate Digest," the renowned humorist Will Rogers makes his characteristically gentle but insightful commentary on American culture, society, daily life, and, last but not least, politics. As a collection of social commentaries from the early 20th century America, it touches upon the political issues of the time, such as the prohibition and the oil lease scandal, as well as more day-to-day topics, such as corsets and restaurant etiquette. Regardless of whether he is poking fun at politicians or questioning unnecessary formalities, his genuine sense of care and self-deprecating attitude come through in this collection. (Summary by S. Emily Lee)
