In Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why, acclaimed Washington Post satirist Alexandra Petri offers perfectly logical, reassuring reasons for everything that has happened in recent American politics that will in no way unsettle your worldview.In essays both new and adapted from her viral Washington Post columns, Petri reports that the Trump administration is as competent as it is uncorrupted, white supremacy has never been less rampant, and men have been silenced for too long. The woman card is a powerful card to play Q-Anon makes perfect sense This Panglossian venture into our swampy present offers a virtuosic first draft of history--a parody as surreal and deranged as the Trump administration itself.One of the difficulties of being alive today, she notes, is that everything is absurd but fewer and fewer things are funny. Written with devastating wit that reveals a persistent, perhaps manic optimism about her benighted country, Petris essays have become iconic expressions of rage and anger, read and liked and shared by hundreds of thousands of people. Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why shows why she has emerged as the preeminent political satirist of her generation.JacketPraise for Alexandra Petri: One of the funniest writers alive. - Randall MunroeAlexandra Petri is a genius who makes the pain more bearable.
