Summary:
"Before Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Doonesbury, there was Art Buchwald. For more than fifty years, from 1949 to 2006, Art Buchwald's Pulitzer Prize--winning column of political satire and biting wit made him one of the most widely read American humorists and a popular player in the Washington world of Ethel and Ted Kennedy, Ben Bradlee, and Katharine Graham. Dean Acheson, former U.S. Secretary of State, called Buchwald the "greatest satirist in the English language since Pope and Swift." Drawing on Buchwald's most memorable columns and unpublished correspondence with other famous people, Funny Business shows how Art Buchwald became an American original. Like Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, and James Thurber, he satirized political scoundrels, lampooned the powerful, and worshipped the quicksand that ten presidents walked on, as Buchwald joked. The key to Buchwald's style of humor, he once stated, was to "treat light subjects seriously and serious subjects lightly." ... Entertaining and absorbing, Funny Business looks back on Buchwald's brilliant gift for humor and satire, which will once again bring readers a comedic respite from troublesome times."-- Publisher.
