"Elements of Wit promises to teach the wit-deprived hordes how to become modern-day Oscar Wildes and Dorothy Parker...An entertaining book that...will inspire his customers to read as widely as possible and, with the help of a few martinis, crack a little wiser than before."
--The Wall Street Journal
Got wit?
We’ve all been in that situation where we need to say something clever, but innocuous; smart enough to show some intelligence, without showing off; something funny, but not a joke. What we need in that moment is witthat sparkling combination of charm, humor, confidence, and most of all, the right words at the right time.
Elements of Wit is an engaging book that brings together the greatest wits of our time, and previous ones fromOscar Wilde to Nora Ephron, Winston Churchill to Christopher Hitchens, Mae West toLouis CK, and many in between.
With chapters covering the essential ingredients of wit, this primer sheds light on how anyoneintroverts, extroverts, wallflowers, and bon vivantscan find the right zinger, quip, parry, or retortor at least be a little bit more interesting.
