An Irreverent Tour Through the World of Pun Competitions

From Fast Company reporter, Joe Berkowitz

“Low wit in its highest form . . . Mr. Berkowitz is sensitive throughout to the evanescence and contingency of punning and to the fleeting chemistry of a live pun-on-pun matchup crackling with energy.” —Wall Street Journal

“If competitive pun-makers can be heroes, Away with Words tells the tale of a hero’s journey.” —Jo Firestone, co-creator of Punderdome 3000 “Relentlessly hilarious, mercilessly selfaware, and consistently compassionate.” —Josh Gondelman, co-author of You Blew It!
