The author of Ducks, Newburyport rails against a host of social ills large and smallâfrom patriarchy to annoying household objects seemingly destined to cause us harmâin this collection of darkly humorous screeds.
What The Reviewers Say
Ellmann’s polemic is a medley: a wickedly funny, rousing, depressing, caps-driven work of linguistic gymnastics hellbent on upbraiding the deleterious forces of the prevailing misogyny, focused especially on the US.
... caustic, clever, occasionally exhausting and frequently funny.
... 14 witty, provocative, but often passé essays.
... witty and refreshingly acid-tongued.
