Description

''If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they''ll kill you.''One of the most prolific and respected playwrights of the twentieth century, Bernard Shaw''s legacy shows no signs of waning, and his beautifully written plays, laced with wry wit and invective alike, have seen countless performances over the years, their finest lines paraded in literary conversation and review.Meticulously selected by Simon Mundy, the Wit and Acid series collects the sharpest lines from Shaw''s oeuvre in small neat volumes, allowing the reader to sample some of the very best barbs and one-liners the twentieth century has to offer, and this, the second volume, covers lines from the great writer''s works published after 1911.With an introduction by Simon Mundy, a poet, novelist, trenchant music critic and occasional playwright.
