Satirist* Will Cuppy's first published work – a collection of short stories he wrote while at UChicago called "Maroon Tales" (1907) – is surely his most overlooked. "The Indiscretions of Yvonne de la Plaisance" is one story from the collection. It is funny, enjoyable, and downright strange. It captures a certain early 1900s collegiate prankster energy while tackling gender fluidity and co-education issues. It reads like some glorious cross between a horror story, a jazz age tale, and a coming of age episode. Sort of halloweeney, gay, 1920s collegiate chaos. There are multiple plot twists.
"Maroon Tales" is guaranteed to keep you on your toes. Don't miss out!
