'There are only two ways to telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously'
Priceless and pithy bons mots to darken your day. Includes section for the optimistic pessimist: 'Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy'; 'Bad things happen to everyone', and this handy book provides just the right words of irreverent inspiration to help you laugh at all its nasty surprises. Inspired by the author's profoundly pessimistic late grandmother Ethel, 'Pessimisms' offers witty and thoughtful observations on family, faith, men, love, life and health from politics, literature, the press, film and music and the likes of George Burns, Cher, Joan Crawford, Picasso and Goethe.
