About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Coffee and Repartee, by John Kendrick Bangs. Read by Daryl Wor First released in 1893, Coffee And Repartee is a collection of breakfast chats at a gentlemans boarding house run by a Mrs. Smithers. Here these fellows repeatedly face questions and proclamations by an inhabitant they call The Idiot. The discussions sound friendly under pretense, but are really sly battles of ribald wit and cunning charm, as well as rather offensive remarks during a time period considered by many to favour a height of refined etiquette. The Idiot spars well, but will the other residents get the better of him? (Summary by Daryl Wor)
