THE WITTE LECTURES 2021 SCHEDULE P.J. O’Rourke Friday, February 19, 6:19pm General $35 per household // NBPLF Members receive 25% Discount Leading political satirist, best-selling author, and op-ed contributor to The Washington Post, P.J. O’Rourke covers current events, combining the skill of an investigative reporter with a comedian’s sense of the absurd. Known as a hard-bitten, cigar-smoking conservative, he unabashedly bashes all political persuasions. Whether dealing with the inner workings of Washington or shifting political and economic sands of the new world disorder, O’Rourke proves to be a savvy guide to national and global affairs. His razor-sharp insights never fail to inform and entertain. With more than 1 million words of trenchant journalism under his byline and more citations in The Penguin Dictionary of Humorous Quotations than any living writer, O’Rourke has established himself as America’s premier political satirist. He has authored 20 books, including his latest, A Cry from the Far Middle: Dispatches from a Divided Land (2020).
