| The prose is of a rare stateliness and intelligence, studded with clever, sometimes almost epigrammatic mots. |
| This book is full of aphorisms, bon mots and witticisms, nearly all to do with the absurdity of the world in which we live. |
| I am frankly astonished nobody has thrown those mots justes my way before now. |
| In Anderson, the group have a classic song stylist who works his cornfed bon mots into smoking country tunes. |
| It also contains a number of quibbles or jeux de mots, and a still greater number of facetiae, idle and licentious stories. |
| But according to the many people who rang and wrote in, these were very far from the mots justes. |
