Glasgow’s Book Festival: Aye Write - Matthew Parris: Scorn

Matthew Parris's Scorn is a selection of the funniest, sharpest, rudest and most devastating insults in history, from ancient Roman graffiti to the battlefields of Twitter. There's no pleasure like a perfectly-turned put-down (when it's directed at somebody else, of course) and Matthew Parris's Scorn is a selection of the funniest, sharpest, rudest and most devastating insults in history, from ancient Roman graffiti to the battlefields of Twitter. Drawing on bile from such masters as Dorothy Parker, Elizabeth I, Donald Trump, Groucho Marx, Winston Churchill, Mae West and Alastair Campbell, Scorn includes everything from the perfect elegant riposte to a brutal verbal sledgehammer. A few examples: 'Authors are easy to get on with - if you're fond of children.' Michael Joseph I married beneath me - all women do.' Nancy Asquith 'Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.' Albert Einstein
