This volume gathers the pithy, sardonic, and sometimes scandalous aphorisms and one-liners popularly associated with Addison Mizner, the celebrated architect of Palm Beach, and his younger brother Wilson Mizner, a playwright, gambler, and raconteur. The book presents a selection of their so-called 'Miznerisms'—clever, often debauched proverbs that reflect the brothers' cynical worldview and their disdain for conventional morality.
