Men Are Stupid, Women Are Crazy

Peter Ruehl’s humorous columns on life, family, and politics have been one of the Australian Financial Review’s most beloved and prominent features for more than two decades. His irreverent wit and ability to puncture pretentiousness with a well-turned phrase gave way to thousands of dedicated readers. A collection of Ruehl’s most popular columns, this laugh-out-loud compilation is a commentary on contemporary Australian society. From his satirical references to teenagers’ music, dress, and approach to life to his descriptions of what was really going on politically in Canberra, Ruehl never lost his distinctive American style yet was able to understand and write about Australian culture in a passionately funny and deeply personal way.
