Need to impress that art school guy wearing the sexy beret with your knowledge of Duchamp's famous ""ready-mades""? Want to outsmart the cocky ""suit"" in the Gucci loafers with your stock-market savvy? THE PORTABLE PUNDIT is an indispensable resource for everyone from the social set to the wannabes, each picking and choosing the essential facts that they need to stay alive in the increasingly competitive world of the social animal. The book contains chapters devoted to giving readers just enough important and obscure knowledge to impress everyone they drink or mingle with on such essential topics as Wall Street, literature, architecture, art history, film, politics, feminism, sports, religion, and the Internet. In addition to these major subjects, the guide will provide crucial cocktail party strategies- such as how to get from door to bar in three easy steps (diagram included), how to ease out of a conversation that is going nowhere, and much more. T. E. Krieger lends his own blend of wry humor and extensive knowledge in this tome for triflers.
