How to Attract the Wombat by Will Cuppy
A survey of the animal kingdom in which the nocturnal and tunneling wombat is awarded the greatest praise. Will Cuppy was something like the Larry David of the mid-20th century. From his perch as a staff writer at The New Yorker, Cuppy observed the world and found a great deal that annoyed him. This collection of essays on animals includes “Birds Who Can’t Even Fly,” “Optional Insects,” “Octopuses and Those Things”, and “How to Swat a Fly,” which codifies the essentials in ten hilarious principles. And three essays on wombats. Perfect reading for the perplexed, befuddled, and perpetually irritated.
Will Cuppy was a literary critic and humorist, known for his funny and satirical articles and books about nature and history. He wrote for The New Yorker and other magazines, and his articles have been collected into books that are both amusing and factual.
