Perelman, S. J. (Sidney Joseph)

(1904–79) writer; born in New York City. After graduating from Brown (1925), he returned to New York City to work as a cartoonist and writer for various periodicals (1925–29). The first collection of his pieces, Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge (1929), attracted the attention of Hollywood, and in the next quarter-century he would write 11 film scripts, including parts of some Marx Brothers movies. Starting in 1931, he also began to publish the first of what proved to be hundreds of pieces in the New Yorker, many of them biting satires of contemporary American mores and manners, but all written with his inimitable mix of baroque language, tongue-in-cheek parody, and zany wit. They were periodically collected in such volumes as The Most of S. J. Perelman (1958). Although he settled in Bucks County, Pa., in his later years, he was an inveterate traveler and published several books about his travels, such as Westward Ha! or Around the World in Eighty Cliches (1948).
