Editorial reviews

Arthur Black describes the stuff you buy at garage sales as "stuff with soul": a sweater that may have an "exclusive wine stain" and things that "reek of history, although the reek can be a little too pungent at times.” Black’s comic styling and witty observations on life’s absurdities large and small - Karaoke in your car, and mac and cheese on a stick - intertwine with quips from his life as a comedian, newspaper columnist, and radio personality.

Peter Larkin’s warm and gravelly delivery does Black Justice. He’s not afraid to dip into dry sarcasm but always keeps the touch of earnestness that endeared Black to decades of fans.

Publisher's Summary

Arthur Black - beloved radio personality, newspaper columnist, best-selling author and two-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour - shows no symptoms of a weary funny bone with his latest offering Pitch Black. Pitch Black delivers hilarious insights on the medical application of duct tape, the real difference between men and women, how to reuse that Commodore 64 in the closet, and why writers dread cocktail parties and barbeques ("A stranger asks you what you do; you tell them you're a writer. And they come back with 'No, I meant what do you do for a LIVING'").At least one writer need not fear the hors d'oeuvres table - Pitch Black proves that Arthur Black is master of his craft. Laughs are guaranteed.
