Inhaltsangabe

This new edition includes over 650 mordant definitions by Bufe—twice as many as in the original edition—and 40 illustrations by San Francisco artist and filmmaker J. R. Swanson. The definitions skewer such targets as religion, the "right to life" movement, capitalism, marxism, the IRS, politicians of all stripes, and common euphemisms, as well as male-female relations and sexual attitudes, something which Bierce, writing in more conservative times, was not free to do. The book concludes with a lengthy appendix of the best 200 definitions from Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary.

Über diesen Titel

As bitter as Bierce and as mordant as Mencken... "DRUG ADDICTION, n. A popular method of dealing with day-to-day life in the United States." "PSYCHIC, n. An individual having an uncanny, seemingly supernatural, talent for extracting money from morons."
