| Summary | "My Four Weeks in France" by Ring Lardner is a humorous travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences as a war correspondent during World War I, capturing his journey across the Atlantic and into France, filled with quirky encounters and observations of life amidst wartime chaos. The opening of the narrative introduces us to a protagonist who unexpectedly finds himself appointed as a war correspondent despite his lack of military experience. Through a series of comedic exchanges, he navigates bureaucratic hurdles and the perils of traveling by troopship, all while sharing wry commentary about his fellow passengers and the absurdities of war. From dodging submarines to amusing interactions with shipmates, the beginning sets the tone for a light-hearted yet insightful look at the author's adventures as he embarks on a journey that promises to be anything but ordinary.
