Mythomagical
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I DON'T have a copy of this book: I borrowed from a friend. Anyway, the book is very funny and insightful. There are a whole lot of Welt-like people in the world, and it's great they have such an eloquent spokesperson.In the end, "Mythomania" allows one to exist for a brief period in the exotic presence of someone who can talk smartly about erstwhile banal things. The Disney essay is amazing, a major bonus!

My uncle Bernard has always intimidated me with his incredible intelligence. What I didn't realize until I got older - he is also incredibly funny. I absolutely adored this book. I hope he continues to put his thoughts on paper.
Mythomaniacal fun

I picked up this book at a great little bookstore in Philly across from the headquarters of Public Radio's World Cafe. I was hooked by the first paragraph. Welt writes so well and clearly, and has such outrageous and fascinating things to say about American mass culture, that I found myself laughing out loud and reading bits to anyone who came within earshot. I love this book... it's a great gift for any friend or family member who can think. -DA
