DRIVING LIKE CRAZY Thirty Years of Vehicular Hell-bending

P.J. O'Rourke is at his most shocking and unapologetic here in 30 years’ worth of satire about America's (and his own) love of the automobile. Narrator Christopher Lane offers a fair approximation of O'Rourke's patented snarky banter. Lane projects O'Rourke’s underlying wise-guy attitude, which dares the listener to challenge what he's saying. O'Rourke's right-wing political agenda may annoy some listeners in his more recent essays, but most are meant to jab everyone, at least a little. Ever since his days of writing for NATIONAL LAMPOON, O'Rourke has worked hard to shock. The most bizarre element of this book is when O'Rourke becomes his own worst critic, savaging his own earlier work in later essays. Strange boy.
