We need more humorists like Dave Barry
I never met a Dave I didn’t like. I discovered Dave Barry when I googled “humor columnist”. At first I was not inclined to read his work because we don’t have much in common. He’s a white Florida man, I’m an Asian California woman. What convinced me was discovering that Dave has a Pulitzer Prize!…

Zarna Garg- This American Woman is a one-in-a-billion Wow. I thought this would be a typical Asian immigrant story of a hedge fund housewife who wants to do comedy because she’s bored.
