About the Author
William R. Evans III and Andrew Frothingham first combined their talents on And I Quote (St. Martins' Press, 1992, with Ashton Applewhite). Both authors live in New York City.
Reviews
These two contemporary collections from The New Yorker 's Frothingham and Evans ( And I Quote , St. Martin's, 1992) will prove useful for any collection. Crisp Toasts lists at least three toasts for more than 100 alphabetically arranged topics, from absent friends to work. Ranging from timely to traditional, most of the toasts are short one-liners, ideal for weddings, christenings, reunions, and retirement dinners. Well-Done Roasts is one of the first collections of roasts for every occasion. Roasts are becoming an ever more popular form of testimonial for everyone from politicians to retired sports heroes, and the authors offer hundreds of friendly tributes disguised as insults, arranged alphabetically from old age to youth. There is even a helpful list of synonyms. This user-friendly, nonsexist manual will keep audiences in stitches. Some contemporary samples: "Those aren't acne scars on his face, he just had a hard time learning to eat with a fork," and "She went to the Tammy Faye Baker cosmetics school."-- Brian E. Coutts, Western Kentucky Univ. Libs., Bowling Green
