You'll take a bird's-eye view of our beastly language, feast on a banquet of mushrooming food metaphors, and meet the self-reflecting Doctor Rotcod, destined to speak only in palindromes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Lederer is the author of more than 30 books about language, history, and humor, including his best-selling \u003ci\u003eAnguished English\u003c\/i\u003e series and his current book, \u003ci\u003ePresidential Trivia\u003c\/i\u003e.
