Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Autorenporträt
Thorne Smith, born James Thorne Smith Jr. on March 27, 1892, was an American writer, best known for his humorous and fantastical novels. Often remembered for his satirical and whimsical storytelling, Smith penned the notable work 'The Night Life of the Gods' (1931), which blends modern-day satire with enchanting elements of classical mythology. His skillful narrative intertwines the lives of gods and mortals, with the protagonist unlocking the secret to turning people to stone and animating statues, culminating in riotous escapades. Smith's writing was characterized by a distinctive blend of comedy and the supernatural, often featuring outlandish situations rendered with a deft touch. Although his career was relatively brief, spanning just over a decade due to his untimely death in 1934, Smith's influence endures in the world of fantasy and comedic literature. His inventive storylines and memorable characters contributed significantly to the genre, paving the way for future generations of writers. 'The Night Life of the Gods', as with other works by Smith, captures his unique literary style which marries the everyday with the mythical, leaving a lasting legacy within the annals of American fiction.
