Quatrième de couverture :
"Brilliant." Julie Burchill
"The amazing Craig Brown - the greatest satirist since Max Beerbohm." Elaine Showalter, The Guardian
"Craig Brown's humour will outlive his victims...His Journalism is one of the compensations for being British now." David Sexton, The Sunday Telegraph
Mixing parody, mocker, farce, malapropism, puns, whimsy, satire, light verse, pastiche, spoonerism, phonetics, social observation and nonsense, This Is Craig Brown contains the very best of Craig Brown's inspired humour.
From steamy first-hand accounts by the six most distinguished people never to have had sex with Marilyn Monroe to parodies of Max Clifford and Kenneth Tynan, from a terrifying eye-witness report of the English dinner party to a stalwart defence of golf, from a day spent with Tony Blackburn to clerihews for Tate Modern, This is Craig Brown is a hilarious selection of work by the writer recently named by Vanity Fair as Britain's foremost satirist.
There is thoughtful comment too, from Brown's ever-popular alter-egos Bel Littlejohn and Wallace Arnold, plus contributions from more obviously absurd characters like Gore Vidal, Victoria Beckham, Tracey Emin and Tony Blair, all of whom may - or may not - be figments of Craig Brown's hyperactive imagination.
With brand new exciting material for this edition.

Craig Brown (no not the Scottish football manager) is the funniest, the most revered and the most prolific humorist we have. This book collects together for the first time the best of his wit from the vast archive of his work spanning the last twenty years, teaming it with brand new material. This collection of parody, satire, whimsy and wit, includes extracts and articles from Private Eye, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, Vanity Fair, The Mail on Sunday, The Spectator and many more. They capture the essence of British life - he is as funny on soaps, Posh Spice and Tony Blackburn as he is on Art and Politics.
