The author looks at other least-loved Deputy Commanders-in-Chief, profiles the tribulations of the long-suffering Second Lady Marilyn Quayle, rounds up and runs down a list of the ten stupidest people in Washington after Dan Quayle, and speculates on why Dan Quayle is actually the best possible candidate for President. A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Cover and pages may be creased and show discolouration.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New York: Henry Holt, 2001. Very Good/Very Good, First Edition.ISBN:0805067205.Lately it's become fashionable to vilify Baby Boomers as "the worst generation": the most selfish, the most avaricious, the most hypocritical--and the most obsessed with the provenance of their neighbors' porcini mushrooms. But is this characterization fair? Professional iconoclast and Baby Boomer Joe Queenan decided to find out. How did a generation that started out at Woodstock and Monterey end up at Crate & Barrel? How did a generation that promised to "teach the children well" end up with progeny so evil they could give the kid from The Omen a run for his money? How could one single generation eat that much squid-ink vermicelli? In this book, Joe Queenan explains, more in sorrow than in anger, precisely how a generation with so much promise lost its way. A hilarious work of incisive social commentary, it offers a measured, if cranky assessment of a generation whose greatest sin lies in confusing pop culture with culture and mistaking lifestyle with life.

This book is an unread copy. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: One semi-tropical Fourth of July, Joe Queenan's English wife suggested that the family might like a chicken tikka masala in lieu of the customary barbecue. It was this pitiless act of gastronomic cultural oppression, coupled with the dread of the fearsome Christmas pudding that awaited him for dessert, that inspired the author to make a solitary pilgrimage to Great Britain. Freed from the obligation to visit an unending procession of Auntie Margarets and Cousin Robins, as he had done for the first twenty-five years of his marriage, Queenan decided that he would not come back from Albion until he had finally penetrated the Limey heart of darkness. His trip was not in vain. Crisscrossing Old Blighty like Cromwell hunting Papists, Queenan finally came to terms with the choochiness, squiffiness, ponciness and sticky-wicketness that lie at the heart of the British character. Here he is trying to find out whose idea it was to impale King Edward II on a red-hot poker - and what this says about English sexual politics. Here he is enjoying a tour of Liverpool given by Big Jim, a cab driver whose best man was John Lennon. And here he is in Stroud, impressed by Talon, an all-Brit Eagles tribute band fresh from the Cheese and Grain in Frome. At the end of his epic adventure, the author returns chastened, none the wiser, but encouraged that his wife is actually as sane as she is, in light of her fellow countrymen. *** Quantity Available: 12.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A one-of-a-kind celebration of America's greatest comic strip--and the life lessons it can teach us--from a stellar array of writers and artistsOver the span of fifty years, Charles M. Schulz created a comic strip that is one of the indisputable glories of American popular culture hilarious, poignant, inimitable. Some twenty years after the last strip appeared, the characters Schulz brought to life in Peanuts continue to resonate with millions of fans, their beguiling four-panel adventures and television escapades offering lessons about happiness, friendship, disappointment, childhood, and life itself. In The Peanuts Papers, thirty-three writers and artists reflect on the deeper truths of Schulz s deceptively simple comic, its impact on their lives and art and on the broader culture. These enchanting, affecting, and often quite personal essays show just how much Peanuts means to its many admirers and the ways it invites us to ponder, in the words of Sarah Boxer, how to survive and still be a decent human being in an often bewildering world. Featuring essays, memoirs, poems, and two original comic strips, here is the ultimate reader s companion for every Peanuts fan.Featuring:Jill Bialosky Lisa Birnbach Sarah Boxer Jennifer Finney Boylan Ivan Brunetti Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell Rich Cohen Gerald Early Umberto Eco Jonathan Franzen Ira Glass Adam Gopnik David Hajdu Bruce Handy David Kamp Maxine Hong Kingston Chuck Klosterman Peter D. Kramer Jonathan Lethem Rick Moody Ann Patchett Kevin Powell Joe Queenan Nicole Rudick George Saunders Elissa Schappell Seth Janice Shapiro Mona Simpson Leslie Stein Clifford Thompson David L.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Paris is 'the world capital of memory and desire,' concludes one of the writers in this intimate and insightful collection of memoirs of the city. Living in Paris changed these writers forever.In thirty-two personal essays-more than half of which are here published for the first time-the writers describe how they were seduced by Paris and then began to see things differently. They came to write, to cook, to find love, to study, to raise children, to escape, or to live the way it's done in French movies; they came from the United States, Canada, and England; from Iran, Iraq, and Cuba; and-a few-from other parts of France. And they stayed, not as tourists, but for a long time; some are still living there. They were outsiders who became insiders, who here share their observations and revelations. Some are well-known writers: Diane Johnson, David Sedaris, Judith Thurman, Joe Queenan, and Edmund White. Others may be lesser known but are no less passionate on the subject.Together, their reflections add up to an unusually perceptive and multifaceted portrait of a city that is entrancing, at times exasperating, but always fascinating. They remind us that Paris belongs to everyone it has touched, and to each in a different way.
