Arthur Black is back in this lively new collection of his wit and wisdom. Once again, Black attacks our perceptions of daily living and surrenders to bureaucratic eventualities. Who else but Arthur Black would sit naked at a nude beach and envision people with their clothes on? Or, on the issue of sex education, opt for lying to children?

Black Ties and Tales is also a compilation of curiosity: Why is a man in Italy hoarding the world's cutlery? Why will we see the resurgence of the push mower? Who is on a quest for the ultimate shoe shine? Why does Arthur Black want to live in a thankless world?

Black takes aim at everything from politicians to nuisance lawsuits, from erotica to the Scots -- and he does it with his trademark linguistic twists. After you've read this book, you'll discover why it's not easy being Arthur Black.
