The Pocket Guide to Brilliance

by Bart King

The Pocket Guide to Brilliance Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Punctuated with both sharp and dry wit, Bart King presents a wealth of fascinating trivia.

Learn from masters of brilliance like:

The first female journalist, Anne Royall, who forced an interview with John Quincy Adams by stealing his clothes while he was skinny dipping.

Candidate John Lindsay, who released chickens at a speech by his opponent, George Wallace, in order to shame Wallace into a debate.

Benjamin Franklin, the originator of phrases like a learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one, and a man who lives on hope, dies farting.
