Happy Ending: The Political Comedy Of The Year - Warning: Sex & Violence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781987629996)

Doug Elfman is the multiple award-winning journalist from Las Vegas who has interviewed everyone from Al Gore to Donald Trump, Prince to Paul McCartney, and Britney to Mariah. He rose to prominence as the Page 3 celebrity columnist, feature writer, and concert reviewer at the Las Vegas daily newspaper, reporting not just about stars and Gatsby parties, but also strippers, swingers, and sex workers. He took a detour for a few years (during the last days of Roger Ebert), when he was talked into taking the TV critic job at the Chicago Sun-Times. Before all that glitz and glamour, he began his writing career as a hard-news reporter swimming through snake-infested floods, and dodging hurricane-slung pinecones in the dirty South. That's where he covered politics, government, cops, courts, education and even catfish farm bankruptcies, making his way from New Orleans to Atlanta, Florida, and Tennessee. Not content with all his success, Elfman also launched The Game Dork, the nationally syndicated video game column, which influenced a generation of game reviewers. His third fiction is "Happy Ending: The Political Comedy Of The Year - Warning: Sex & Violence," coming on the heels of his satirical farce, "The Siege of Las Vegas," and his tender literary tribute to rural boredom, "I Know What I Have And I'm Grateful."
