Olive or Twist?: A Book of Drinking Cartoons

By (author) Jack Ziegler

| book description |

Olive or Twist? serves up a cocktail of laughter, taking in top-shelf treats (Could Chianti, Burgundy, and Rioja all come from the feet of the same Frenchman?) and low-grade liquor (Bar beer options: Import, Domestic, Micro, or Crap? ). And Ziegler is just at home in the ritziest bar ( Meanwhile at the Cafe de la Mort: Ernest Hemingway is ridiculing Oscar Wilde's wine spritzer while Truman Capote takes notes ) as he is in the dingiest dive ( Slumlords Top o' the Tenement Bar & Grill ). Here's a sample of some of his other quips: one drinking bum to another: I was once in dire straits, much as you are, my friend, and then I discovered the '97 Napa Valley Cabernets ; Jesus at the The Last Supper : One more round and then we should probably order ; Boozehound to bartender: I'm earlier than usual this evening due to an elevated level of chatter at home. This volume is the ideal pick-me-up, guaranteed not only to banish booze blues but, like the title character, leave the reader begging for more.
