Fresh Every Hour: Detailing The Adventures, Comic And Pathetic, Of One Jimmy Martin, Purveyor Of Publicity is a novel written by John Peter Toohey and first published in 1922. The book is a satirical look at the world of advertising and public relations in the early 20th century, following the misadventures of its titular character, Jimmy Martin.Martin is a young man who makes his living as a publicist, using his wit and charm to promote various products and events. However, his schemes often go awry, leading to humorous and sometimes tragic consequences. Along the way, Martin encounters a cast of eccentric characters, including a washed-up actress, a crooked politician, and a group of radical anarchists.Through Martin's exploits, Toohey offers a critique of the excesses and superficiality of the advertising industry, as well as the broader societal values of the time. The novel is also notable for its use of stream-of-consciousness narration and experimental storytelling techniques.Overall, Fresh Every Hour is a vivid and entertaining portrait of a bygone era, and a biting commentary on the power of persuasion in modern society.A Young Gentleman Possessing Sublime Nerve, Whimsical Imagination, Colossal Impudence, And Withal, The Heart Of A Child.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
