Publisher Description
John Birmingham is a master of good writing and funny lines. He has written a thousand stories, some true, some not so much. These are the best ones and they’re so good, and so funny, there has been no barrel-scraping involved. Really, this book could have been much longer.
The pieces contained within these pages run the gamut from the early felafel days to the shiny age we live in where Donald Trump is the President of the USA. And it does not shy away from the greatest controversy of our age: potato cake vs potato scallop.
These hilarious pieces cover a wide range of topics from food to fitness and politics to pork, in all its glories. And, of course, fashion. Ever the equal opportunist, John Birmingham skewers them all.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
John Birmingham has been dropping hilarious truth-bombs across a suite of print and electronic publications for decades now—this collection of his columns spans a career’s worth of modern Aussie wisdom. The Dave Hooper series author’s musings have been corralled into discrete categories; as you jump from the ultimate pig-based feast to the ridiculousness of corporate meetings in the space of a few pages, you know you’re dealing with a true Renaissance man. This is the perfect read to call up on your phone while you’re waiting outside the kebab van (or really anywhere else).
