If you're Wilde about Shaw but not Shaw about Wilde, this classic
collection of humorous literary quotations is the book for you.
Within its pages you will find hundreds of hand-picked quotes in
dozens of handy categories. All the big names are here, from Henry
James to Clive James (no relation); from Waugh, Evelyn to War,
Poets; from Dickens to Dictionaries and Twain to Twitter. Delve
here and discover T. S. Eliot's advice on becoming a great writer
(it's a bit anal). Find out what the critics said about Virginia
Woolf and what Virginia Woolf said about the critics. And check out
what it was about Jane Austen that got Mark Twain so hot under the
choler! When dirt is dished, fat is chewed, sides are split and
chins are wagged, the result, dear reader, is this richly
entertaining book. "Where is human nature so weak as in the
bookstore?" HENRY WARD BEECHER "Biographers know nothing about the
intimate sex lives of their own wives but think they know all about
Stendhal's or Faulkner's." MILAN KUNDERA "I hate writing. I love
having written." DOROTHY PARKER "It was a good career move." GORE
VIDAL, on the death of Truman Capote
