Dave Barry Talks Back, Paperback/Dave Barry

Description Yet another collection of wit and wisdom by Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist and author Dave Barry . This collection of essays explores a range of topics including traffic cops, dentists, and Congress. "Want to impress your friends? Tell them you read the latest work by the 1988 Pulitzer Prize-winner for commentary. Just don't tell them it's full of booger jokes".--Orange County Register About the Author From 1983 to 2004, Dave Barry wrote a weekly humor column for The 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 nonfiction Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster) , You Can Date Boys When You're Forty , and I'll Mature When I'm Dead ; the novels Big Trouble , Tricky Business , and Insane City ; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas story The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog . Two of his books-- Big Trouble and Dave 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.
