Dave Barry’s dry wit made a big impression on me in high school. Later, in college, when preparing to move to Japan, I picked up Dave Barry Does Japan (1992). Turns out throughout all his zany humorizing, there was a lot for me to chew on. I wasn’t the only one, in 1988 at the Miami Herald, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his “consistently effective use of humor as a device for presenting fresh insights into serious concerns.”
