Heywood Broun was an American newspaper columnist and critic, best known for his strong stance against social injustice, and his long-running column "It Seems to Me."
His book, Pieces of Hate and Other Enthusiasms, is a collection of humorous short stories about ordinary instances in daily life. We learn many interesting things about life, such as what it feels like to be a god, and why sometimes it would be a good idea to exchange one's own newborn baby for a better one at the hospital.
