Nothing is sacred to Jonathan Yardley, and nobody is safe from his penetrating insights. In Monday Morning Quarterback, Washington, D.C.'s best known columnist offers his wit and wisdom on America in the 1990s, from politics and culture to sports and literature. Whatever his target, Yardley's observations are always controversial, outrageous, uncompromising, eye-opening, and hilarious.

In Misfit, the Pulitzer Prize-winning book critic of The Washington Post portrays in full one of the most tormented, distinctive, and talented writers of the post-war years. Frederick Exley's story, which in Yardley's telling reads as if it were a novel, reveals a singular personality: raunchy, vulgar, self-centered, and even infantile, yet also loyal, self-deprecating, and unfailingly humorous. Sympathetic and affectionate, honest and unsparing, Yardley's portrait gives us a man who sacrificed everything in order to write and who became, even more than before, his own most memorable creation.
