Praise:
“From the fictionalized accounts of his
career as a hard-drinking hippie to the Benchley-in-the-age-of-macho lampoon of
fly fishing, Mr. O’Rourke shows an incorrigible comic gift and an eye for
detail that keeps the wild stuff grounded.”—Robert Christgau, The New York Times Book Review
“It’s fun to watch O’Rourke mature as a
writer even as he becomes an angry conservative.”—Patricia Holt, San Francisco Chronicle
“Not
everyone will view O’Rourke’s political transformation as progress, but there
can be little doubt about his development as a writer. These examples from 25
years of writing provide convincing evidence that age and guile do indeed beat
youth, innocence and a bad haircut.”—James D. Fairbanks, Houston Chronicle
