P.J. O'Rourke

    Patrick O'Rourke je americký politický satirik, ktorého prenikavý humor a bystrý postreh rozoberajú absurditu moderného života. Jeho práca sa často zameriava na politiku a kultúru s jedinečnou zmesou cynizmu a intelektuálneho záujmu. O'Rourke je známy svojím ostrým jazykom a schopnosťou odhaľovať pokrytectvo s prekvapivou naliehavosťou. Jeho štýl je nekompromisný a zároveň zábavný, čo z neho robí nevyhnutný hlas v oblasti politickej satiry.

      In Holidays in Hell America's funniest writer takes on the role of tour guide with hilarious results. In this darkly satirical take on the travel writing genre, O'Rourke reports from trouble spots around the world; 'A Ramble through Lebanon' and 'Christmas in El Salvador' may sound unpromising, but when subjected to O'Rourke's blackly comic treatment they become gloriously entertaining inversions of the standard travelogue. The perfect antidote to political correctness, Holidays in Hell is also a clear-eyed look at humanity, or man's lack of it, around the world.

      Politically incorrect and unflinchingly irreverent, this acerbic book, begun as an article by O'Rourke in The American Spectator and further contributed to by the magazine's readership, offers a hilarious take on all those "undesirables" we have to live with every day. Media tour.
