“A Short Treatise on Miss Carolyn Mark”
Carolyn Mark’s wit is legendary. I’m not talking about scripted, tested yuck-fodder. I mean spontaneous, off-the-cuff, whip-smart wit. I once saw her at a summer festival, and some white hippies approached the stage before she began her set. They wanted to know if she...
