Snark: A Polemic in Seven Fits by David Denby

2.0

This is an entertaining artifact of 2009, in which an aging journalist explains why the Internet is soiling public discourse and offending his refined sensibilities. David Denby seems to have been curious if he could write a whole book about how much he disliked Gawker and Maureen Dowd. And so he did.

I did take away two lessons from this book, however:

1. Don't be shitty to someone in your writing without very good reason
2. If you're being shitty for a not-very-good reason, you're probably upset about something you're not being up front about
