Ascent of the A-Word : Assholism, the First Sixty Years

The enigmatic individuals we refer to as "Assholes" deserve a closer look, at least to understand where they come from. Linguist Geoffrey Nunberg (from NPR’s “Fresh Air”) is up to the task. This humorous and enlightening book dives into the history of the phrase, how society has accepted this phase (more or less within a generation's time), and what that tells us about ourselves.
