A Pickle for the Knowing Ones

Annotated With Short Author Biography

ByLord Timothy Dexter

"A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" is a satirical almanac written by Timothy Dexter, originally published in 1802. It stands as a unique and eccentric work of literature, filled with bizarre spelling, unconventional punctuation, and nonsensical ramblings. At its core, "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" is a collection of humorous and often nonsensical anecdotes, aphorisms, and observations, presented in a style that is deliberately unconventional and idiosyncratic. Dexter's writing is characterized by its lack of coherence and structure, with sentences that often run on for pages and paragraphs that meander aimlessly from one topic to the next. One of the most compelling aspects of the almanac is its sheer absurdity and disregard for traditional literary conventions. Dexter delights in flouting the rules of grammar and syntax, creating a chaotic and anarchic text that defies easy categorization or interpretation. "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" is also notable for its satirical commentary on contemporary society and politics. Dexter skewers the pretensions and foibles of his fellow citizens, lampooning everything from religion and government to marriage and manners with his biting wit and irreverent humor. Through "A Pickle for the Knowing Ones," Dexter invites readers to embrace the absurdity of existence, to revel in the joy of nonsense and chaos, and to question the arbitrary rules and conventions that govern our lives. It is a singular work of literature that continues to captivate and confound readers with its bizarre charm and irrepressible eccentricity.
