CLASS CLOWN by Dave Barry
Simon & Schuster
This is not another boring boomer bio.
Prolific author and beloved humorist Dave Barry has crafted a thoughtful and entertaining review of his life and career, all the while displaying his usual droll humor and playful spirit.
He includes poignant family remembrances, including a portrait of his mother whom he credits with his sense of humor. "Don't take anything too seriously" is valuable advice he took to heart.
The reader will enjoy Barry's boyish delight in lampooning the absurdity, hypocrisy and stupidity in the world. This is, of course, an endless task, but thankfully he is an accomplished journalist with a Midwestern work ethic and a long lasting, authentic connection with his ginormous audience.
Like a master balloon animal artist, he takes facts (remember those?) and with clever twists and adept turns, adds common sense and truth - then with an ingenious sleight of hand, swiftly delivers - hilarious commentary on just about everything.
Ingenious, good-hearted humor, without the vitriol.
This is what a wonderful career and meaningful life looks like.
What ultimately matters? Family, the people you love, the legacy of laughter.
Class Clown is a treasure, as is Dave Barry.
Even the Appendix is funny.
