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.

Editorial Reviews

Dave Barry has a knack for giving his readers more than a few laughs. This audio presentation is no exception. Read by “Laugh-In” veteran Arte Johnson and featuring introductions by the author, this is audio comedy at its best. The earnestness and honesty of Barry’s humor are stylized with perfection by Johnson’s warm and distinctive voice. If you’re a fan of Dave Barry’s columns, you’ll have to have this audio program.
