About this title

From the Inside Flap:

From the hippie joys and hazards of communal living to the conservative think-tank dinners in Washington, from his fear of the dark to his love of cars, P.J. O'Rourke takes us through the experiences which have shaped his irreverent attitude towards, well, just abut everything.

For readers unfamiliar with O'Rourke's humour, here are essays directed against all of his favourite targets; for those who are already fans, this book includes many previously unpublished pieces--it's the Portable P.J. for every library.

From the Back Cover:

"A whimsically cracked rear view of a lively livelihood." --Winnipeg Sun
