Summary

Bestsellers On Bullshit and Your Call Is Very Important to Us reflect this interest, not to mention the popular media's eager response to these books. For those readers who were puzzled by or fascinated by Frankfurt's On Bullshit, A Companion to Bullshit cuts through the academic crap and leaves glistening pearls of wisdom.
