From the Inside Flap:

te the passing of Lewis Grizzard, this treasury showcases the original shock journalist at his most outrageous and irreverent. Culled from Villard's eight Grizzard bestsellers, this collection highlights the author's unique and fearless style. From the hilarious to the deeply felt, these pieces are Grizzard at his very best, on subjects ranging from sex to politics, marriage to golf, health to religion.

About the Author:

Lewis Grizzard, Jr., was an American writer and humorist known for his commentary on the American South. Although he spent his early career as a newspaper sportswriter and editor, becoming the sports editor of the Atlanta Journal at age 23, he was much better known for his humorous newspaper columns in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was also a popular stand-up comedian and lecturer. Grizzard published a total of 25 books, including collections of his columns (e.g., Chili Dawgs Always Bark at Night), expanded versions of his stand-up comedy routines (I Haven't Understood Anything Since 1962), and the autobiographical If I Ever Get Back to Georgia, I'm Gonna Nail My Feet to the Ground. Although much of his comedy discussed the South and Grizzard's personal and professional lives, it was also a commentary on issues prevalent throughout America, including relationships between men and women (e.g., If Love Were Oil, I'd Be About a Quart Low), politics, and health. Grizzard passed away in 1994.
