A Killjoy’s Answer
A killjoy’s answer is an answer to these questions: why another book on complaint? Why another trade book? Why another handbook?
A Complainer’s Handbook is currently in the process of being retitled but that is not an answer to these questions.
The answer is in an off-repeated utterance:
