Buchwald's satirical essays take jabs at politicians, power, corporations, and the media without pause. A self-described troublemaker, Buchwald represents the great American traits of skepticism, humor, and a refusal to compromise in the face of absurdity. Arthur Buchwald (October 20, 1925-January 17, 2007) was an American humorist best known for his column in The Washington Post. At the height of his popularity, it was published as a syndicated column in more than 500 newspapers. His column focused on political satire and commentary. Buchwald had first started writing as a journalist in Paris after WWII, where he wrote a column called Paris After Dark, for the Paris Herald Tribune. He was part of an American expatriate community in those years. After his return to the U. S. in 1962, he continued to publish his columns and books for the rest of his life. He received the Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for Outstanding Commentary, and in 1991 was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. In his last book before his death in 2007, the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Art Buchwald examined the ridiculous people and preposterous events that we called our daily reality during the Bush era. Collected from his columns, with a foreword by Garry Trudeau, Buchwald's satirical voice darts at politicians, power, corporations and the media without pause.
