Bierce's dictionary, first published in 1906 as 'The Cynicâ s Word Book', brought his biting black humour to bear on spoof definitions of everyday words. Over 100 years later, Bierceâ s redefinitions still give us pause for thoughtâ making for a timely new edition of this irreverent and provocative satire.
