The American, that rugged individual with horse sense and horse laugh, is vanishing. [. . .] William Zinsser pleads for our right to be disorganized in an increasingly organized society--or at least to be ourselves and not everybody else. His book is brave, barbed, and outrageously funny--but not so barbed that it doesn't contain some bouquets as well." #01788.
