Product Description: Buchwald has single-handedly restored humor to contemporary journalism. Los Angeles Times Quite simply, the funniest US newspaper columnist published today and one of the nation’s sharpest political satirists.- Newsweek Buchwald is a pitiless chronicler of human folly, particularly as it manifests itself in public officials; the targets of his satire are pretension, inconsistency, and hypocrisy. He makes his readers laugh out loud, then leaves them wondering whether what they laughed at might not equally well have made them weep. Library Journal Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist Art Buchwald returns undaunted to examine the ridiculous people and preposterous events that shape our daily reality. Collected from his recent columns, with an introduction by Gary Trudeau, Buchwald’s satirical voice darts at politicians, power, corporations, and the media without pause. A self-described troublemaker, Buchwald continues to represent the great American traits of skepticism, humor, and a refusal to compromise in the face of absurdity. Art Buchwald was born in Mt. Vernon, New York, and raised in Hollis, Queens. After serving in the Pacific in World War II and a stint at the University of Southern California, he moved to Paris and began his long career as a columnist and author. He has written 32 books, including two children’s books and two novels. His most recent novel is Stella in Heaven (Putnam, 2000), and his most recent collection is We’ll Laugh Again (Putnam, 2002). He was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Outstanding Commentary in 1982, and in 1986 was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Buchwald is a workaholic and has no hobbies. About the Author: Art Buchwald was born in Mt. Vernon, New York and raised in Hollis, Queens. He has written thirty-two books-including two children's books and two novels. He was the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for "Outstanding Commentary" in 1982.

Buchwald, Art I'll Always Have Paris: A Memoir
Putnam Pub Group 1996 0399141871 / 9780399141874 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition - Price inside dustcover: $24.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages - illustrated with photos. 236 pages. - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - The renowned humorist continues his best-selling memoirs, into the dazzling Paris of the late 1940s and the 1950s. Here we find twenty-two-year-old Art, in June 1948, one of the army of "fresh, peach-cheeked Americans" invading postwar France, and ready to embark on the greatest adventure of his life. Over the next fourteen years he would invent himself: a foster child from Queens suddenly hobnobbing with some of the most powerful and famous people in the world; landing a job with the legendary Paris Herald Tribune, with no legitimate experience whatsoever; and telling people where to go and what to eat mostly on the basis of his food-tasting experiences with the Marine Corps mess and the USC student union. He crashed costume balls in Venice, hunted bats in Sussex, ran with the bulls in Pamplona, clashed with police in Paris, spoofed Hemingway in the Congo, and dined with gangsters in Naples. From sidewalk cafes to society weddings, Buchwald reported on the folkways and foibles of the International Set, becoming everybody's favorite American in Paris - and one thing more. For in meeting and marrying a redhead named Ann, and then adopting three children, he also became what his foster childhood had never prepared him to be: a family man. This was perhaps his greatest invention of all.

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - From The Critics Publishers Weekly Satirist Buchwald takes aim at a variety of lofty institutions that do fool everybody. The Reagan administration, the Pentagon, the auto industry, the Internal Revenue Service, newspaper editors and ``other targets of a man hard to fool at any time are treated with due irreverence and trenchant wit,'' PW wrote. (October) Library Journal You've read one Art Buchwald book, you've read 'em all. Right? Wrong. What makes Buchwald a widely read columnisthis week-to-week ability to make light of the human comedy with unerring accuracyis what ensures the success of his collections of selections. Who and what is Buchwald ``picking on'' in this volume? Government lead ers, including the President, members of Congress, the cabinet, and the jus tice department, as well as a variety of professions: medicine, journalism, real estate; and then, of course, members of his family and anyone else who catches his fancy. There's a laugh to be found on every page. And at 332 pages, that works out to a laugh a day for almost a year. As well as some intelligent hu mor, to boot. That's worth the price.
