PJ O'Rourke: Is It Hard Being a Satirist These Days?

Andrew Keen

Nov 14, 2020

On today's episode, Andrew talks with satirist PJ O'Rourke about his new book, A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land.

P. J. O'Rourke has written nineteen books on subjects as diverse as politics and cars and etiquette and economics. Parliament of Whores and Give War a Chance both reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. He is a regular panelist on NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me, a contributing writer for the Washington Post editorial page, and the editor in chief of the free web magazine American Consequences. He lives in rural New England, as far away from the things he writes about as he can get.
