This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Thorne Smith lived a very fast life, dying at age 42 of, one might say, too much fun. Topper started his career in 1926. Night Life came five years, and, no doubt, many many martinis later. Inventor Hunter Hawk does a patented Thorne Smith "Turnabout" (the title of another 1931 Smith book): while sculptors turn human flesh into stone, Hawk's invention turns statues back into humans, only these statues are the ribald, sexy, mischevious gods of mythology and, once set free, they revert to their mythical characters. And what characters they are! New York becomes the playground for these out of control beings, and the fun doesn't stop until the very last page. Smith's books give us what we can only hope was a bit of insight into the wild days and nights of the Roaring Twenties--something of the flip side of the Gatsby crowd. His oeuvre was, as was his life, much too short. Night Life of the Gods is a treasure and should be on every bookshelf.
