Coffeehouse Glib

by Alan Gibson

In the coffeehouse of history, only the wry survive. Author Alan Gibson creates a coffeehouse of the imagination, in which he trades quips with famous and not-so-famous people such as Benjamin Franklin, CoCo Chanel, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, and dozens more. Each exchange begins with a famous quotation. with which Alan banters in high spirits. He almost always loses in these mental exchanges--but the result is witty and often hilarious.
