{"product_id":"snark-9781416599463","title":"Snark","description":"- An acclaimed and thoughtful author: David Denby has been writing insightful film reviews since the 1970s. Formerly a columnist for \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, he has been with \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e for the past decade. His nonfiction account of Western literature, \u003ci\u003eGreat Books\u003c\/i\u003e, has been praised for its intelligence and breadth of scope.. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- A biting polemic on the cultural tone of today: \u003ci\u003eSnark\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of that nasty combination of snide and sarcasm that goes beyond irony and satire to just plain ugliness. Snark erupts from the mouths of politicians and pundits, from bloggers and newscasters, and from comedians too lazy to be truly funny. It's the cheap shot that hits below the belt. It's everywhere, and according to Denby, it's damaging to everyone it touches. .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Denby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 6.62w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416599463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2010 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDenby, David:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDavid Denby\u003c\/b\u003e has been film critic and staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker \u003c\/i\u003esince 1998; prior to that he was film critic of \u003ci\u003eNew York \u003c\/i\u003emagazine.
