Product Description
Funny Business: The Legendary Life and Political Satire of Art Buchwald Hardcover
About This Item
Introducing "Funny Business: The Legendary Life and Political Satire of Art Buchwald Hardcover" - a delightful and entertaining book about one of America's greatest humorists. Before Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Doonesbury, there was Art Buchwald. For over fifty years, Art Buchwald's Pulitzer Prize-winning column of political satire and biting wit made him one of the most widely read American humorists and a popular player in the Washington world of Ethel and Ted Kennedy, Ben Bradlee, and Katharine Graham.
In "Funny Business," you'll discover the life behind Art Buchwald's must-read Washington Post columns. This absorbing biography offers never-before-published photos, documents, and interviews, giving you an intimate look into the genius behind the laughter. Drawing on Buchwald's most memorable columns and unpublished correspondence with other famous people, this book showcases how Art Buchwald became an American original.
Like Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, and James Thurber, he satirized political scoundrels, lampooned the powerful, and add humor to serious subjects. Buchwald's comedic style was a blend of treating light subjects seriously and serious subjects lightly. But there was a darker, more serious side to Art Buchwald.
A childhood spent in foster homes taught him to see comedy as a refuge. He also struggled with depression, a secret he kept from the public for nearly thirty years. Through storytelling, you'll uncover the complexities of Buchwald's life and gain a deeper understanding of the man behind the humor.
"Funny Business" is studded with stories of Buchwald's friendships with Humphrey Bogart, John Steinbeck, Irwin Shaw, William Styron, Erma Bombeck, Frank Sinatra, Adam West (Batman), Robert Frost, and others. It takes you on a journey through Buchwald's career, where he tackled historical events such as the Vietnam War, the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy, Watergate, and the 9/11 terrorist attack. Prepare to be entertained with Buchwald's nonstop one-liners known as "Buchshots." This book is filled with articles and essays that are guaranteed to induce laughter and provide a much-needed comedic respite from troublesome times.
Uncover the comedic legacy of Art Buchwald and immerse yourself in his witty storytelling, humorous observations, and laughter-filled writings. Get your hands on "Funny Business" today and relish in the brilliance of this comedic genius.
