Jon calls this "a work of genius"--and I had to pay him almost nothing for the blurb. More mystery and mayhem in the Ivy League, mixing my world with real history to create something entertaining.


I've combed my archives to create this collection of my magazine humor. From The Yale Record to The New Yorker, the best of the pre-Barry years is in here.


My first non-parodic novel is now available! It's school like it ought to be: loud, eventful, and full of swearing!


I'm probably going to Hell for this C.S. Lewis spoof.


The ultimate Harry Potter parody. Three novels, 25 foreign editions, over a million copies sold--it's too much to list here, but you can read excerpts and buy the books at Barrytrotter.com!

When will they ever learn...?

As you might have heard, FOX News is threatening a website with legal action over a parody T-shirt. The T-shirt, which reads "FAUX News" in a similar (though not the same) typeface, and a similar (though not identical) design, is clearly political speech, using a clearly transformed original to make a satirical point--that FOX News isn't real news. So from where I'm standing, it's pretty open-and-shut in favor of the little guy--if said little guy can afford to stand their ground. I'm buying a couple, and you should, too, at www.agitproperties.com. But be patient--their server is getting swamped.
