Description

A collection of Jon's newspaper features, reworked and with new material, with a common theme: the ways in which people get themselves into wholly irrational bubbles, within which all manner of lunacy makes perfect sense. In Jon's previous two books, Them and The Men Who Stare at Goats, the nuttiness took place a long way from everyday life

Reviews

As a chronicle of his ‘everyday’ life as an inquisitive journalist, Jon Ronson’s collection of true stories include the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire coughing scandal, people that donate their kidneys to strangers, eating in a pitch dark restaurant, and being allowed to snoop round Stanley Kubrick’s house.
