Etiquette and vitriol

The first collection by a master of razor-sharp wit and black humor, Etiquette and Vitriol brings together two of Silver's highly acclaimed and successful works - the long-running Off-Broadway hit The Food Chain and the award-winning Pterodactyls - with two earlier works - Fat Men in Skirts and Free Will & Wanton Lust - which helped establish Silver as one of the leading comic voices of his generation.
