Five Great Novels of Political Satire - Recommended by satirist P. J. O'Rourke

Five Great Novels of Political Satire - Recommended by satirist P. J. O'Rourke | Writers & Books | Scoop.it
PJ O’Rourke talks Swift, Huxley, Orwell and Waugh and says we now live in the world of 1984 but, instead of being a horror show, a television that looks back at you is just a pain in the ass
bobbygw's insight:
Political satirist P J O’Rourke has more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any other living writer. His bestselling books include Parliament of Whores, Give War a Chance, Eat the Rich, The CEO of the Sofa, Peace Kills and On the Wealth of Nations. His latest book, Don’t Vote – It Just Encourages the Bastards, was published this year.
