Jon Winokur champions curmudgeons. "They have the temerity to comment on the human condition without apology," he says with admiration. "They not only refuse to applaud mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee." This omnibus edition of cranky quotes, comical anecdotes, and rousing interviews promises to amuse all who would battle pretense and pomposity with irony and wit. The 2,500 snappish quotes in The Big Curmudgeon are arranged by topic, and world-class cranks throughout history are represented. Shrewd and irreverent, this collection of trenchantly humorous commentary will tickle your inner cynic. You may want to buy a few extra copies, too, for all the lovable grouches in your life.
