Every absurdity of everyday life—from politics to the species of individuals known as "guys"—are fodder for syndicated columnist Dave Barry. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary, he is also the best-selling author of 23 books, including Babies and Other Hazards of Sex, Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States, Dave Barry is from Mars AND Venus, and his latest, Big Trouble. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom "Dave's World," in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.
Dave Barry is a humor columnist for the Miami Herald. His column appears in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.
Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men's underpants with a Barbie doll.
In his spare time, Dave is a candidate for president of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets.
