:Good parody is murderously hard to write. Wolcott Gibbs, an accomplished parodist if ever there was one, said that it is the hardest form of creative writing there is, because not only must the style of the subject be reproduced in slightly enlarged form, but it must also hold the interest of people who haven’t read the original. It was Aldous Huxley who said that parodies are the most penetrating form of criticism, and Oscar Wilde who said they are the tribute that mediocrity pays to genius, which leaves us with a pretty good idea as to who had been burned and who hadn’t. Some of the parodies are, obviously, more successful than others, which is a roundabout way of saying that some don’t hold up if you haven’t read the original material; but others make glorious reading even if you’ve never even heard of the author being parodied, and this is the best kind I can think of." - Nathaniel Benchley, from the introduction
