Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel January 17, 2012

Listen in as comic geniuses Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel discuss their new book, Lunatics. In this novel, Philip Horkman is a happy man who owns a pet store called The Wine Shop and is a referee for kids’ soccer. Jeffrey Peckerman, on the other hand, is the sole sane person in a crazy world, and he’s having a really bad day. The two of them collide in an escalating series of events that will send them running for their lives as they are pursued by the police, soldiers, terrorists, subversives, bears, and a man dressed as
Chuck E. Cheese. A Q&A and book signing follow the program. Presented in association with Book Soup.

Pulitzer Prize–winning humor columnist Dave Barry has written more than thirty books, including Dave Barry’s History of the Millennium (So Far), I'll Mature When I'm Dead, and his bestselling Peter Pan prequels written with Ridley Pearson. One of the original writers for Saturday Night Live, Alan Zweibel has won multiple Emmy Awards and the Thurber Prize for his novel The Other Shulman.
