George S. Kaufman wrote plays and comic theatre, often in collaboration with other writers, using fast dialogue to satirise business, politics, show business and social ambition. With Moss Hart he wrote You Can't Take It with You, about an eccentric household colliding with a conventional wealthy family, and The Man Who Came to Dinner, in which an injured celebrity guest takes over his hosts' home. Kaufman also worked with Edna Ferber on plays including Dinner at Eight. His writing is brisk, theatrical and ensemble-driven. Readers browsing American comedy, stage plays, screwball dialogue and interwar Broadway are the closest match. Read more Less
