Autorenporträt
The author of A Boring Book, Seth McDonough, claims his teasing characterizations of human foibles are a tribute to his favourite comedic describers of people, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde. But, if any could-be reader of this novel finds such a pronouncement to be a smidge self-aggrandizing, the author notes that his previous book, How to Cure Yourself of Narcissism, makes him an expert on the subject of egotists; and he says he's quite confident he's not one, himself.
