"The So-Called Human Race" by Bert Leston Taylor is a collection of humorous essays and columns written in the early 20th century. This work showcases Taylor's witty observations and satirical commentary on the absurdities of human behavior and society. The volume draws from Taylor’s extensive journalism experience, particularly his popular column in the Chicago Tribune, encapsulating the foibles of humanity through clever wordplay and amusing anecdotes. The opening of the book features an introduction by Henry B. Fuller, who praises Taylor's role as a pioneer in the column-writing genre, affectionately noting that his contributions were both influential and entertaining. Following this, the reader is invited into a whimsical exploration of human nature, beginning with a series of light-hearted quips that highlight everyday follies and the quirks of societal interactions. Taylor deftly combines humor with insights into human behavior, suggesting that despite our faults and follies, there’s a charm to our shared existence, articulated with a playful tone that invites readers to reflect on their own lives amidst the laughter.
