Uneven collection of short snippets, ranging from the utterly silly to the slyly ironic. Can't decide whether my favorite is "Hissy Fit", about a pretentious New York writer journeying to LaLaLand to interview a pretentious film producer, or the nonsensical essay about a shortage of periods in Times New Roman font. (The joke here is that the book is set in one of the Goudy typefaces...)
