Encompassing thousands of his columns, all of which originally appeared in the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e, this is the first collection of Royko work to solely cover his time at the Tribune. Covering politics, culture, sports, and more, Royko brings his trademark sarcasm and cantankerous wit to a complete compendium of his last 14 years as a newspaper man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganized chronologically, these columns display Royko's talent for crafting fictional conversations that reveal the truth of the small-minded in our society. From cagey political points to hysterical take-downs of \"meatball\" sports fans, Royko's writing was beloved and anticipated anxiously by his fans. In plain language, he \"tells it like it is\" on subjects relevant to modern society. In addition to his columns, the book features Royko's obituary and articles written about him after his death, telling the tale of his life and success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ultimate collection is a must-read for Royko fans, longtime \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e readers, and Chicagoans who love the city's rich history of dedicated and insightful journalism.","brand":"Agate Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300941152496,"sku":"9781572844926","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781572844926_p0.jpg?v=1763792731","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781572844926","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
