badarguments.com


badarguments.com is the (presently sub-) website for The Duck the Won the Lottery and 99 Other Bad Arguments, published this autumn by Granta. The book examines 100 ways in which people argue or reason badly, but often persuasively. The book has its roots in a series I wrote for the butterfliesandwheels.com website called Bad Moves. You can read some of these entries by clicking on the links below.
As publication of the book nears, there will be more on bad arguments published here. Subscribe to keep informed.
