STET,  Damnit !       by Florence King

National Review Books : New York, 2003

This is the complete arsenal of Miss King's columns for National Review, 1991 -2002, and STET, damnit: exactly as originally published in the magazine. Zits and all. Let to stand as is.

This material passes the sobriety test. First read on publication, accompanied by a very dry martini of the sort much favored by the author herself, the columns were superb. Now, under a regimen of ethyl abstinence imposed by the medical and actuarial authorities, they are even better.  Who knew ?

Or perhaps it's just that I've, like, groan in orifice ?

Re-read WHAT KOTIK READS AND RE-READS, DAMNIT !
