Anotace knihy

P.J. O'Rourke has had a prolific career as one of America's most celebrated humorists. But that career almost didn't happen. As he tells it, "I began to write for pay in the spring of 1970. To tell the truth I didn't even mean to be a writer, I meant to be a race car driver, but I didn't have a race car." Fortunately for us, he had to settle for writing. From his early pieces for the "National Lampoon," through his classic reporting as "Rolling Stone's" International Affairs editor in the 80s and 90s, and his brilliant, inimitable political journalism and analysis, P.J. has been entertaining and provoking readers with high octane prose, a gonzo Republican attitude and a rare ability to make you laugh out loud. Chris Buckley once described his work as "S.J. Perlman on acid" and when Penguin first published its "Dictionary of Modern Humorist Quotations" PJ had more entries than any living writer. For the first time "Thrown Under the Omnibus" brings together his funniest, most outrageous, most controversial and most loved pieces in the definitive P.J. reader. Handpicked and introduced by the humorist himself, "Thrown Under the Omnibus" is the essential P.J. O'Rourke anthology.
