Brief Summary
The Big Curmudgeon is the richest collection yet of curmudgeonly commentary arranged alphabetically by subject and featuring special sections on such world-class grumps as H.L. Mencken, John Simon, W.C. Fields, and Dorothy Parker. This book is the last witty word on all things cynical, snide, and hilariously grouchy.
