Debauched Proverbs and Other Miznerisms of Addison Mizner and Wilson Mizner
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. The content offers a glimpse into the wit and irreverence of two colorful figures from early 20th-century American high society and the entertainment world, capturing their distinctive blend of humor and worldly wisdom. more
