How to Do Things Right: The Revelations of a Fussy Man
"A perfectly wonderful book...It is much harder to be funny than to be tragic, but you will find damn few people who will acknowledge this. The funnier you become, the more lightly people will regard you. May you become as light as helium." --Kurt Vonnegut (from a letter to Rust Hills)"Hills is preoccupied primarily [with] the little things…and he writes about them as felicitously, delicately, and gently as Benchley did." --Nora Ephron, The New York Times
