Dave Barry's Greatest Hits de Dave Barry

Dave Barry's Greatest Hits

Autor Dave Barry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 1997
WHEN DAVE BARRY IS ON THE LOOSE, NO ONE IS SAFE!

What Dave Barry did for the men's movement in his Complete Guide to Guys and for foreign relations when he did Japan he now does for . . . everything in America. The rapacious observer of Tupperware ladies and leisure concept salesmen sounds off on:

Football--Football is more than just a game. It is a potential opportunity to see a live person lying on the ground with a bone sticking out of his leg, while the fans, to show their appreciation, perform "the wave."

Sailing--There's nothing quite like getting out on the open sea, where you can forget about the hassles and worries of life on land, and concentrate on the hassles and worries of life on the sea, such as death by squid.

Gambling--Off-Track Betting parlors are the kinds of places where you never see signs that say, "Thank You for Not Smoking." The best you can hope for is, "Thank You for Not Spitting Pieces of Your Cigar on My Neck."

"The good news: he's funny as ever. The bad news: the book is only 304 pages."
--Los Angeles Daily News

Notă biografică

From 1983 to 2004,Dave Barrywrote a weekly humor column forThe Miami Herald, which in 1988 won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of more than thirty books, including such bestsellers as the nonfictionLive Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster),You Can Date Boys When You're Forty, andI'll Mature When I'm Dead; the novelsBig Trouble,Tricky Business, andInsane City; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas storyThe Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog. Two of his books—Big TroubleandDave Barry's Guide to Guys—have been turned into movies. For a while, his life was even a television series,Dave's World, but then it was canceled. The series. Not the life. For many years, Dave was also a guitarist with the late, infamous, and strangely unlamented band the Rock Bottom Remainders.
