It Isn T Over Until The Fat Lady Sings

It Ain't Over Until The Fat Lady Sings describes how Martin Noordhof's boss's supervisor decides to get rid of Martin's boss, and replaces her with a creature that has no management skills and not the foggiest idea about the work that he does, but at the same time has no inhibitions about telling him how to do his job. His new boss has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Martin, a senior administrator at a large municipal university, finds out that being in a subordinate position to such a person is torture. The creature demands the immediate execution of every instruction, no matter how insane and damaging to the operation Martin is responsible for, and everything that goes wrong as a result of its orders is Martin's fault, because the creature considers itself infallible. The book tells the story of how Martin's battle with his new boss results in the end of both of their careers.

Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes's The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as "Nice guys finish last," and "Play it again, Sam," but more surprising ones such as "Ain't I a woman?" and "Golf is a good walk spoiled," as well as the origins of popular sayings such as "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," "No one washes a rented car," and "Make my day." Keyes's in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. An invaluable resource for not just those with a professional need to quote accurately, but anyone at all who is interested in the roots of words and phrases, The Quote Verifier is not only a fascinating piece of literary sleuthing, but also a great read.
