Description

In his profession, Dave Barry has been doing almost everything - created best-selling non-fiction, won a Pulitzer Award, observed his life converted into a tv series. And now, at last, he's joined the long listing of literary figures from Jane Austen to Tolstoy who've made the move from laughter writer to author - and completed it with a method and originality that determines that, yes, he's excellent at that, also. Within the town of Coconut Grove, Florida, these specific things occur: A struggling adman called Eliot Arnold drives home from a gathering with the Customer From Hell. His Squirtmaster is filled by his teenage son, Matt, for his change in a senior school game called Monster.
