"Love Conquers All" by Robert Benchley is a humorous collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book features Benchley's trademark wit as he explores various topics, from personal quirks to social observations, often through a lens of satire. The essays cover a range of subjects, including family dynamics, societal norms, and even guidance on observing games and events, all steeped in the author's comedic style. The beginning of the book introduces the first essay, "The Benchley-Whittier Correspondence," where Benchley humorously recounts a mix-up involving the poet John Greenleaf Whittier. After a Save-Our-Song-Birds meeting, Benchley mistakenly ends up with Whittier's hat and attempts to exchange letters with the poet about the mix-up. Through a series of witty correspondences, he reflects on the lack of responses from Whittier and concludes with a playful yet sardonic wish for the poet to suffer the consequences of his hat-wearing choice. This sets the tone for the book, blending lighthearted anecdotes with thoughtful commentary on life’s absurdities.
