Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge was originally published in 1929 by Horace Liveright. It was the debut book by American humorist S. J. Perelman. It is a collection of absurdist, fast-paced comic sketches and parodies. The book was famously noticed by Groucho Marx and the back of the dust jacket states his famous line from an open letter to Perelman, "From the moment I picked up your book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend to read it".
Additional comment from Jimmy Durante is also featured back cover, "I can get along without Broadway, but I can't get along without Perelman's Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge".
