You Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry On Parenting And Other Topics He Knows Very Little About

Description

If there's one thing that New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, Dave Barry is an expert on, it's raising a daughter. .which means he's not an expert on much considering the breadth of his knowledge on that subject fills only a single chapter of a book. However, what Dave Barry is good at is giving unsolicited advice on topics on which he's definitively not an expert. In fact, he now has an entire book filled with guidance on things he knows nothing about, including: surviving in the wild, wooing women, cremation, maintaining a scintillating conversation, Justin Bieber, the U.S. Postal Service, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, most obviously, being a professional author. With trademark wit and unmatched insight into the insanity of everyday life, Dave Barry presents a series of hilarious, never-before-published essays on the trials and tribulations of living and laughing in the modern age.
