Annotation |
In almost fifty vignettes, Berton lampoons some of the stranger features of twentieth-century customs. His pet peeves include top-fifty radio stations, instant coffee, and perfumed magazine ads. He also speculates on how supersonic airliners will show full-length movies on short flights and wine critics who actually swallow the wine. 1996. Unrated. Marrakesh title.
