The Right To Be Lazy by Paul Lafargue
At once a masterpiece of critical theory and rip-roaring radical humour, this is one of the most spirited attacks on the notion of the 'work ethic'. Featuring a revised edition of the original English translation by Charles Hope Kerr, this collection also includes four of Paul Lafargue's lesser-known critiques, including Catechism for Investors as well as a biographical sketch by longtime Wobbly organiser Fred Thompson and a new introduction. Released in collaboration with Kerr Company to their 125th anniversary.Paul La Farge is the author of two novels: The Artist of the Missing (FSG, 1999) and Haussmann, or the Dis-tinction (FSG, 2001); and a book of imaginary dreams, The Facts of Win-ter. His short stories have appeared in McSweeney's, Harper's Magazine, Fence, Conjunctions, and elsewhere. His nonfiction appears in The Believer, Bookforum, Playboy, and Cabinet. He lives in upstate New York.
