The Down and Dirty Dish on Revenge: Serving It Up Nice and Cold To That Lying, Cheating Bastard is your fully-loaded, maxed-out, juiced-up book about how people devise, execute and relish revenge on an ex. For those who have experienced break-ups and heartbreaks--and are dreaming about the sheer satisfaction of sticking it to someone who stuck it to them--this book delivers. (It can be a great alternative to getting in trouble.)
This is a book that examines everything from the history of adultery and revenge to the genetic make-up of someone who desires retribution to how the Internet has put a new spin on vengeance. Experts weigh in on the subject, famous personalities offer first-hand observations, and real people share their personal stories.
But this is also a book that suggests a variety of ways of putting a cap on vengeful thoughts and finding ways of feeling satisfied enough to move on.

REVIEWS
Publisher's Weekly
June 22, 2009
“...a tongue-in-cheek guide to achieving vigilante justice for relationships gone bad... Nagorski handles all the angles, taking a historical-cultural look at methods for dealing with marital transgressions... tales of recent celebrity breakups, chapters devoted to payback songs and movies. Jilted women may find her barbed thesis on heartbreak—thinking about revenge can be as satisfying as exacting it—cathartic and a bit comforting...”
The Daily Beast
June 16, 2009
“It’s a how-to for anyone who’s ever been down in the jowls after a little heartbreak... And luckily, since the “Internet has put a new spin on vengeance,” there now are more creative ways of seeking revenge than ever before (nude pictures, anyone?). Nagorski... has even included a history of adultery and a wide array of expert opinion.”

"The Most Heinous Revenge Stories Ever"

June 12, 2009
“Breezy and snazzy, The Down and Dirty Dish on Revenge does a lot with what seems on the surface to be a thin premise. ...Nagorski looks at revenge in literature, through history, and across different cultures, with almost a sociologist’s eye. She peppers the book with real-life anecdotes of revenge both creative and mean-spirited. And she closes the book with a chapter on the virtues of forgiveness as the best revenge of all.”

How to get revenge on a cheater: Some creative ways for betrayed wives to hit an ex where it hurts
“The book... vacillates between outlandish stories to commentary by academics on the merits and dangers of getting revenge. Imagine a melange of self-help (the “Revenger Quiz” gauges your level and style of vindictiveness), satire (a recipe for “the cold dish of revenge” includes “one hot thong he’ll never see you in”), history and psychology, written in the tone of a chick-lit novel.”

BellaOnline: The Voice of Woman
September 2009
“...Using hilarious anecdotes...Nagorski’s book is filled with opportunities for readers to learn something new and laugh out loud in the process... [the book] serves as an uplifting, comical guide through what can often be a frustrating and confusing time. But you don’t need to be actively plotting revenge in order to appreciate this book. With such a wildly entertaining look at the many faces of revenge, just about anybody will get a kick out of these recipes for revenge... Nagorski did a great job of putting a humorous spin on the topic of revenge.”
