Richard Edward Connell Jr was born on the 17th October 1893, in Poughkeepsie, New York. During the First World War Connell served in France with the US Army and was the editor of his camp's newspaper. After the war he turned to writing short stories, and eventually wrote over 300 of them for the periodicals and journals of the day, including regular contributions to The Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s. The attention of his audience kept him popular for decades. He is perhaps best remembered for his macabre short story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’, written in 1924.

Si encara no tens clar si ets pijo o no, aquest és el teu llibre; si ho tens clar, també.

Tenim tan poca idea dels pijos, del seu món i del seu modus vivendi que el Marc Giró s'ha vist en l'obligació d'escriure aquest nou llibre, desobeint el principi més bàsic de la vida regalada, que diu que el més important a la vida de tot pijo és no pencar mai, sota cap concepte, que això és cosa de les classes proletàries de la Lower-Diagonal.

Val a dir, en la nostra defensa, que avui, en temps de Zara, qualsevol persona per quatre duros pot vestir-se de pijo...
