Shearer, Harry

• Man Bites Town

  • This is a collection of columns from Shearer's former brief stint as a weekend columnist for the L. A. Times. It covers half local, half national issues in a sarcastic way, much like Shearer's coverage of the O. J. Simpson trial for Slate magazine back in 1996. Of course, while I found the OJ stuff hilarious (especially the jury selection process), this book was fairly humdrum. I found it in hardback for two bucks in a record store, and that's about the right price.
