In Search of the World's Worst Writers

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
There are writers whose works inspire and lift us, who move us to tears with their beauty, elegance, and profundity. This book isn't about them.

From the Publisher
This is a celebration of bad writing: a journey into the lives of writers so exquisitely awful, they have unwittingly arrived at genius from the other direction. Among those honored: Solymon Brown and his epic poem of dental hygiene; Samuel Wesley, whose odes include "On a Cow's Tail" and "A Supper of Stinking Ducks"; and Julia A. Moore, America's greatest bad poet, who so memorably observed: "Literary is a work very difficult to do." Like the writings of their more illustrious colleagues, these works of excruciating genius are entertaining, memorable, even tear-inducing. Just for all the wrong reasons. Nick Page is the author of The Tabloid Bible, The Tabloid Shakespeare, and The Dead Sea Files.
