At last, the thinking person's answer to the life of the mind in
today's increasingly mindless, anti-intellectual age. SENSE AND
NONSENSIBILITY pokes fun at everyone from self-important scholars
to pompous professors; from anally-retentive authors to
plagiarising poets; from snake-oil therapists to the cyber-speaking
cognoscenti. This singular collection by professors Lawrence
Douglas and Alexander George brings together some of their most
popular pieces, along with several all-new-ones, including: - The
Academy Awards for novels - with categories for 'Best Female
Protagonist, Doomed', 'Best Narrator, Unreliable', and 'Best Novel,
Unfinishable by a Reader' - Home Shopping University - offering the
greatest ideas in western history at rock-bottom prices - The best
in 'Self-helplessness' books - I'M OKAY, I'M OKAY: ACCEPTING
NARCISSISM - THE PENIS ORATIONS - literature's answer to THE VAGINA
MONOLOGUES From pay-per-call phone lines that cater to cerebral
fetishes to behind-the-scenes reports on what happens when
Hollywood takes on Kant, SENSE AND NONSENSIBILITY is for anyone
looking for a good read, a good laugh and life beyond Harry Potter.
