Over twenty years ago, P.J. O'Rourke published Holidays in Hell,
the classic travelogue that found him searching for excitement in
places like Warsaw, Managua, and Belfast. In Holidays in Heck, the
man dubbed "the funniest writer in America" by Time and The Wall
Street Journal steps into the new and slightly less dangerous
territory of the family vacation. The O'Rourke clan treks to places
as close to home as Disneyland and Washington, D.C., and as
far-flung as China, all while P.J. attempts to dissuade his wife
from shopping and keep his children entertained. His travels often
leave him wishing he were under artillery fire again. At one point,
the family takes a ski trip--to Ohio. Here, he warns his daughter
not to ski out of bounds, "because it's completely flat." Later,
during their visit to the National Museum of American History, P.J.
calls the building, "ugly in a way that's best described as built
in 1964." And one of his solo adventures takes him on a horse trek
across the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where his route consists of
cliff faces that leave him dangling very much off of his saddle.
