Part 1 [4] | Part 2

After revealing the decay of public language in Death Sentence and then compiling the hilarious Watson’s Dictionary of Weasel Words, bestselling author Don Watson turns his acerbic wit to the rise of modern management language, which has invaded every sphere of life. At this Readings event, he talks about his new work, Bendable Learnings, a mind-boggling assortment of noxious management drivel and financial-market blather. Watson's sharp satire restores hope in the power of well chosen words to entertain and to inspire.
