Howard Brubaker (June 26, 1882 - February 2, 1957) was an American magazine editor and writer.
Brubaker was born in
Country Gentleman. He published over 100 short stories and a number of non-fiction pieces on contemporary affairs, especially national politics, in which he tended to espouse a left-of-center viewpoint.[3] He is best known for "Of All Things", a by-liner column that ran weekly in the New Yorker from 1925 to 1951.[2] This column was composed of a series of brief paragraphs that offered humorous and satirical comments on contemporary happenings and personages. Many of these witticisms were reprinted in newspapers across the country.[3] Brubaker died at his home in Greens Farms, Connecticut, at the age of 74.[4]
