In this collection of essays, Florence King confirms her position as one of the wittiest social critics now writing-and certainly the most uninhibited. Nothing escapes her withering gaze, from our greatest national institution ("Democrazy"), to the cult of Helpism ("Does Your Child Taste Salty?"), to the rules of historical romance writing ("Sex and the Saxon Churl"). If caring 'n' compassion are getting you down, open this book for a refreshing whiff of vitriol.
Florence King (1936-2016) is the author of Southern Ladies and Gentlemen, With Charity Toward None, and other books. A prolific writer of essays, articles, and books under various pseudonyms, she was best known for her columns "The Misanthrope's Corner" and "The Bent Pin" in National Review, and for her semi-autobiographical book, Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady.
