This author wrote an epistolary short story in which the opportunistic aspiring songwriter Charles Lewis marries the sister of Paul Sears instead of Mabelle Gillespie. One of this author's "nonsense plays" includes the stage direction "The curtain is lowered for seven days to denote the lapse of a week." His parody of The Young Visitors, The Young Immigrunts, contains the line "shut up, he explained." The inspiration for Abe North in Tender is the Night, he wrote a short story recounting the mean-spirited practical jokes played by Jim Kendall, who is shot by Paul Dickson in revenge for humiliating Julie Gregg. This author included his stories "My Roomy" and "Some Like Them Cold" in his collection How to Write Short Stories, and wrote a book subtitled "the busher's letters," which recounts the exploits of White Sox pitcher Jack Keefe. For 10 points, name this American humorist, the author of the short story "Haircut" and You Know Me Al.
