| Summary | "Torchy As A Pa" by Sewell Ford is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around a young man named Torchy, who embarks on a variety of light-hearted adventures and misadventures in his daily life, revealing his interactions with friends, family, and community. The narrative blends playful social commentary and endearing character sketches, especially as Torchy navigates relationships and domesticity. The opening of the novel introduces Torchy and his partner, Vee, as they discover the new lives of old acquaintances, Lucy Lee and Captain Blake, who have recently moved into a cramped New York apartment. As they visit the Blakes, the contrast between the couple's lively past and their current mundane existence is highlighted. Throughout the visit, Vee expresses concern for Lucy's loneliness in the city, which leads them to brainstorm ways to build a sense of community in their new surroundings. The stage is set for an exploration of urban life and human connection, characterized by Torchy's witty observations and infectious enthusiasm for solving problems, whether they be social or personal.
