The almost perfect state

The almost perfect state1927

Don Marquis

About this book

Marvelous, funny, satirical. Marquis posits that humans would not be happy in a "perfect state", and so must allow one vice. He proceeds to describe his idea of the Almost Perfect State, poking fun at various social and political trends of the day. One of my all-time favorite books. Highly recommended, and very hard to find in hard-copy.
