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!

Sorry my blog's been silent...

...it's been on the fritz. But if you're seeing this, Kate and I have fixed it. More to come.

Simple, obvious, brilliant

Rexual Healing

After years of suffering through offenses that call to mind the phrase "spastic colon," Rex Grossman is literally healing me. I continue to be delighted that the 2006 Chicago Bears can actually run, throw, and catch. You'd think that all football players could do that, but if you did, you wouldn't be a Bears fan. Bears can only hit, tackle, bleed--and eventually lose.

But now we have an offense! In celebration of this novel feeling (as short-lived as history suggests it might be), I provide the following smattering of Bears coverage, in the wake of their 37-6 drubbing of the Seahawks.

Rick Telander.

Rick Morrissey.

Before you ask: no, this defense is not as good as the 1985/86 squad. Those guys changed how defense was played. This year's team is a really, really good version of the so-called "Tampa 2."
