The quotable Barth

Once again, people are on a find-a-clever-Barth-quote frenzy. And so I humbly offer my own contribution:

"Brunner is a loud-mouthed pikey with bad breath and dandruff who has all the social-graces of a stinking turd. A man with his IQ should have a low voice too, but he speaks like a squeeling girl and his face looks like it has been repeatedly hit with a shovel"

- Specific source unknown, but the rumour is that this is the title Barth wanted to give one of his smaller books, until his editors managed to persuade him to shorten it to 'Nein'.
