Today we celebrate what would have been the 75th birthday of our dear friend and longtime author, the legendary P. J. O’Rourke, who passed away earlier this year. As Christopher Buckley put it, “The boomer gen’s H.L. Mencken, P. J. was summa contra everything, but joyously. If you weren’t laughing, you weren’t listening. Along with his peers Oscar Wilde and Dorothy Parker, he was hyperaphoristic.” This week, we’re honoring P. J.’s legacy of trenchant hilarity, unflinching critique, equal-opportunity mockery, and deep, exemplary decency by publishing THE FUNNY STUFF, a compendium of quotes and riffs from more than four decades of his peerless writing, edited by Terry McDonell and with an introduction by Buckley. No O’Rourke collection is complete without it. Click the link in our bio for more info on O’Rourke and THE FUNNY STUFF. And, wherever you are, we hope you’ll join us today in lifting a glass, and enjoying a good, irreverent belly laugh, in his honor. We miss you every day, P. J.
