Thrown Under the Omnibus by P J O'rourke
Handpicked and introduced by the humourist himself, Thrown Under the Omnibus is the essential P.J. O'Rourke anthology - a must-have for all fans.
PJ. O'Rourke is the rarest of breeds; a veteran rightwinger who is both funny and clever but not bitter at all... It's very funny, utterly thought-provoking... O'Rourke emerges as a hero for admitting what few of his generation dare to. * The Times on The Baby Boom *
Few journalists are as bold and iconoclastic as P.J. O'Rourke... Thoroughly entertaining. * Mail on Sunday on The Baby Boom *
P.J. O'Rourke is what happens when America does Grumpy Old Men. Instead of sour-faced curmudgeons bleating that "politics is just a load of crap", you get a succession of amusing and incisive observations about why politics is a load of crap. * Spectator *
Here is (nearly) everything you wanted to know about P. J. O'Rourke but were afraid to ask. * RTE Guide *

P. J. O'Rourke wrote more than twenty books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics. Parliament of Whores and Give War a Chance both reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He was a contributing editor at the Weekly Standard, H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, a regular panellist on NPR's Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me, and editor-in-chief of the web magazine American Consequences. Long a resident of rural New England, as far away from the things he wrote about as he could get, he died in 2022 at the age of 74.
