Pleasantville High School class of 1965. From 1983 to 2004, he
wrote a weekly humor column for the Miami Herald, which in 1988 won
the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of some thirty
books. His most recent bestsellers include his Peter Pan prequels,
written with Ridley Pearson; his Christmas story The Shepherd, the
Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog; Dave Barry's History

Alan Zweibel is an original Saturday Night Live writer who the New
York Times said has "earned his place in the pantheon of American
pop culture." He is the winner of lots and lots of Emmy Awards for
his work in television, which also includes It's Garry Shandling's
Show, Monk, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and PBS's Great Performances. He
won the Thurber Prize for his novel The Other Shulman and
collaborated with Billy Crystal on the Tony Award-winning play 700
Sundays. Zweibel and his wife, Robin, live in Short Hills, New
Jersey, because they enjoy paying exorbitantly high property taxes.
“An outrageously funny, irreverent, over-the-top comic
mystery.”—Sun Sentinel
“A s**tload of hilarious fun.”—The Kentucky Democrat
“As bizarre as their adventures are, there's a strange sense of
believability…That helps keep the story fresh and the pages
turning…Creative, unusual and over the top.” —The Associated
Press
“Rare political satire…With world affairs in the toilet, Barry and
Zweibel bring us what we need: comic relief.”— The Boston Globe
