  In Holidays in Hell America's funniest writer takes on the role of tour guide with hilarious results.In this darkly satirical take on the travel writing genre, O'Rourke reports from trouble spots around the world; 'A Ramble through Lebanon' and 'Christmas in El Salvador' may sound unpromising, but when subjected to O'Rourke's blackly comic treatment they become gloriously entertaining inversions of the standard travelogue. The perfect antidote to political correctness, Holidays in Hell is also a clear-eyed look at humanity, or man's lack of it, around the world. 'The first few pages of this book made me laugh so much I dropped it on my month-old baby . . . Holidays in Hell is a splendid read' EVENING STANDARD
