A panelist on National Public Radio’s Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me, whose deadpan interjections frequently reduce his fellow panelists to tears of laughter, Roy Blount Jr. is a writer whose work entertains in print, on stage, over the air, and on television. He is, among other distinctions, the author of 20 books, a columnist for The Oxford American, the president of the Authors Guild, and a usage consultant to the American Heritage Dictionary. From sources as venerable as the Oxford English Dictionary and as fresh as UrbanDictionary.com, Alphabet Juice, is Blount’s hilarious take on the English language.
