This book will have you horse laughing (quite unattractively) by the end of it. The main character is a well read modern day dandy/hermit with a pedigree who loves to eat, smoke, and drink. He also says the kind of relentlessly mean and funny things that all of us wish we could say, and yet- is also unexpectedly big hearted when it counts. I recommend this book to those who find social pleasantries absurd in a funny way, foodies, and absolutely anyone who is facing a dysfunctional family holiday.
