Book Description
"The Night Life of the Gods" is a humorous novel set in an English family home. Mr. Alfred Pollard Lambert had lost his wife's fortune in a series of business misadventures. This fact had left him no choice but to find refuge for him and his dependents, in the previously tranquil home of his brother-in-law Hunter Hawk. But now the rest of the family is on their last nerves due to his constant experiments that frequently end up in explosions.

Book Description
Thorne Smith's rapid-fire dialogue, brilliant sense of the absurd, and literary aplomb put him in the same category as the beloved P. G. Wodehouse. The Night Life of the Gods, the madcap story of a scientist who instigates a nocturnal spree with the Greek gods, is arguably his most sparkling comedic achievement.

Book Description
The small family group gathered in the library was only conventionally alarmed by the sound of a violent explosion-a singularly self-centred sort of explosion.'Well, thank God, that's over, ' said Mrs Alice Pollard Lambert, swathing her sentence in a sigh intended to convey an impression of hard-pressed fortitude.With bleak eyes she surveyed the fragments of a shattered vase. Its disastrous dive from the piano as a result of the shock had had in it something of the mad deliberation of a suicide's plunge. Its hideous days were over now, and Mrs Lambert was dimly aware of another little familiar something having been withdrawn from her life.'I hope to high heaven this last one satisfies him for this spring at least, ' was the petulant comment of Alfred, the male annexe of Alice.'I've been waiting and waiting and waiting, ' came a thin disembodied voice from a dark corner. 'Night and day I've been waiting and expecting-''And hoping and praying, no doubt, Grandpa, ' interrupted Daphne, idly considering a run in her stocking and wondering what she was going to do about it, if anything, and when would be the least boring time to do it if she did, which she doubted.'Alice, ' complained Grandpa Lambert from the security of his shadows, 'that baggage has no respect for her eld

Book Description
Thorne Smith's rapid-fire dialogue, brilliant sense of the absurd, and literary aplomb put him in the same category as the beloved P. G. Wodehouse. The Night Life of the Gods, the madcap story of a scientist who instigates a nocturnal spree with the Greek gods, is arguably his most sparkling comedic achievement. Hunter Hawk has a knack for annoying his ultra respectable relatives. He likes to experiment and he particularly likes to experiment with explosives. His garage-cum-laboratory is a veritable minefield, replete with evil-smelling clouds of vapor through which various bits of wreckage and mysteriously bubbling test tubes are occasionally visible. With the help of Megaera, a fetching nine-hundred-year-old lady leprechaun he meets one night in the woods, he masters the art (if not the timing) of transforming statues into people. And when he practices his new witchery in the stately halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, setting Bacchus, Mercury, Neptune, Diana, Hebe, Apollo, and Perseus loose on the unsuspecting citizenry of Prohibition-era New York, the stage is set for Thorne Smith at his most devilish and delightful.
