Dave Barry Talks Back

Plot

When Dave Barry writes funny, you write back. And when you write funny, Dave Barry talks back! Besides being a best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Dave Barry wins another informal sweepstakes: He gets more reaction from readers like you than any other columnist in the United States. Whether he’s soliciting your suggestions for cutting the federal deficit (“rent the Stealth bomber out for proms”), heading up the reader-inspired Exploding Animal Institute, or conducting the Official National Insect Bug-off, Dave Barry talks back! And now the absolute best of Dave Barry is available in book form, complete with those items sent in by people like you – Dave’s legion of Alert Readers all across the country who have escaped their ward attendants long enough to warn Dave of the dangers of exploding cows, toilets, snails, whales, human stomachs, and politicians. But you’ll see that Dave Barry doesn’t’ just talk back to his readers. Dave Barry talks back to traffic cops, the IRS, doctors, Congress, the Cable Company collection agency, and his very dumb dugs. He goes to Walt “You will have fun!”Disney World; he escapes vacationing dentists in Hawaii only to run into Imelda Marcos; he tries to figure out why the British talk that way. He even duels with a spider named Bernice. Dave Barry is not just the funniest writer in America, he’s the most interactive. Complete with a new introduction, notes on the columns that his readers have liked best, and illustrated by famed cartoonist Jeff MacNelly of “Shoe” fame, DAVE BARRY TALKS BACK is a very funny, quintessentially Barry book that talks back to everybody, including you mom.
