Rosten's abecedarian roster of scintillating quotes goes from "Actors" to "Youth." Amid the categories are brief character studies of some of the most notable quotables, such as Yogi Berra, Groucho Marx, G.K. Chesterton, and Bertrand Russell, together with some of their famous "refulgent distortions," mind bogglers, slips, and verbal slam dunks. Not at all bashful, Rosten includes many of his own droll remarks.
