My Maternal Grandfather had introduced me to this book when I was 14. It was one of the only items I inherited, that is. I read it PROPERLY in 1988 and IT changed my life completely.I loved his account of his dental appointment and the fiasco afterwards. Louis Nizer did not write an autobiography, he wrote a book that should be sub-titled, "A Guide to Life and Living". I lost my original copy during my travels and have searched the US (West and East Coasts) for it, but failed. I have visited every bookshop I can, big or small in the UK and still failed. One visit to Amazon and my life is almost complete again. Thank you Amazon, I did not believe your ads on Jazz FM UK, but they were correct and I know better now. Patrick-Spencer Salami (UK)

Luios Nizer is one my heroes due to the excellent vindication of the "worth of a man" in his book My Life In Court. here in a deliberately personal account, he retells some of the lessons learned, mistakes made, dangers faced, errors laughed at and other things survived by an intelligent no-nonsense rational approach to life and living.The book is one of my favourite resources of witty one-liners that Nizer has gleaned from his vast reading, and his account of Professor Terry [one of his teachers in Columbia] is one of the best accounts I have read of an intellectual appreciation of a teacher's influence
