The Essential Kirby Canon: 20 Years of Shooting from the Hip at the Salt Lake Tribune
Salt Lake City: Zion Book Works, 2014. First edition. Paperback. Feeling lost in a confused and hostile world? Sad ... hopeless ... desperate? Hungry for words of comfort to feed the weary soul? Heck, so are we! We can’t promise the answer to all of life’s problems (though ‘quit whining’ is a much under-appreciated piece of ageless wisdom), but cough up ten bucks and you’ll get the best of The Salt Lake Tribune’s award-winning humor columnist Robert Kirby (with a cover illustration by Tribune cartoonist Pat Bagley. The newest book from Robert Kirby is as funny and thought-provoking as his last five humor titles; but maybe it’s even more important because he allows himself to be serious at times. Sobering moments of truth mixed in with his off-kilter humor make this a book that should be read and appreciated by every Utahn, Mormon or not, and every Mormon, Utahn or not. Kirby is a keen observer of Utah and Mormon Culture, he is never shy about pointing out, in the funniest ways, our flaws, foibles and weaknesses as well as our strengths. Condition: Near fine.
