Autoren-Porträt von Guy Wetmore Carryl

Guy Wetmore Carryl (1873-1904) was an accomplished American humorist and poet known for his playful wit and for his contributions to light verse in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in New York City to a cultured and literary family, Carryl exhibited a penchant for writing at a young age. He pursued his education at Columbia University, where he became the editor of the college's literary magazine, Columbia Spectator. Carryl's literary work is often characterized by its humor and whimsy, and he was particularly adept at parodies and satires. Among his notable works is the charming collection 'Zut, and Other Parisians' (1903), which showcases his ability to capture the idiosyncrasies of the Parisian society and the absurdities of social conventions through a series of vignettes and short stories. His body of work also includes several other collections of poetry and prose, capturing the irony and humor of everyday life. Tragically, Carryl's life and burgeoning literary career were cut short when he passed away at the age of 31 from pneumonia. Despite his brief time in the literary world, Carryl's wit and engaging style have continued to entertain readers and influence the genre of light verse.
