«Das Liebesnest» is Ring Lardner's short story collection, published by Diogenes Verlag AG in paperback (256 pages, in German).

For readers with a command of German interested in classic American short stories of satirical humour.
Ringgold Wilmer Lardner was an American sports columnist and short story writer best known for his satirical writings on sports, marriage, and the theatre. His contemporaries—Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, and F. Scott Fitzgerald—all professed strong admiration for his writing, and author John O'Hara directly attributed his understanding of dialogue to him.
