Vicious Nonsense: Quips, Snubs & Jabs by Literary Friends & Foes

The pen is truly mightier than the sword in this collection of more than a hundred digs, jabs, and outright put-downs from the world's most respected writers, about – each other! This title reveals the acerbic side of beloved authors who became brutal critics when writing about their fellow wordsmiths. Curated from letters, essays, and reviews, this sometimes stinging, sometimes good-natured, and always delightful collection will ignite the armchair critic in us all.
