George Horace Lorimer’s satirical
Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son is a timeless collection of tongue-in-cheek Gilded Age aphorisms from a fictitious rich man — a prosperous pork-packer in Chicago — to his son, Pierrepont, whom he ‘affectionately’ calls ‘Piggy.’ The writing is subtle and brilliant.
