Chris Nicholson's Writing Weblog
January 14, 2005 • Friday
By no means do I want this blog to become a tribute to Dave Barry. I like plenty of other writers, too, such as ... none are coming to mind right now.
That said, here are a couple bits about Barry:
1) My friend Deb forwarded me an article about Barry's "retirement" that appeared on Slate.com: "Elegy for the humorist." The article retrospects on Barry's career, with a focus on his humorous treatments of serious political matters.
2) The Miami Herald has blocked non-subscribers from accessing Barry's last column on their website (therefore, the link I posted on Jan. 3 is broken). The Washington Post, however, has not blocked access to the column, so I suggest you read it there instead. Besides, the Washington Post wrote a better headline for it anyway: "The Last Laugh."
(Side note: It's very difficult to simultaneously update a blog and eat cereal. In case you ever need to know.)
