I think the stark contrast between PJ and those from the 'hitherworld' are that PJ does not let the clothes wear him.

Yes, a few wrinkles, but great hair.......especially for a man approaching 60!

What bookstore do you think that is? Looks like an older Waterstone's or maybe a particular store I have in mind in the US.
I read all of PJ until Parliament of Whores/Give War a Chance. He wrote <<All the Trouble in the World>> at that time as well.

The store is apparently Book Soup in LA.

Re: P. J. O'Rourke: Traditional American style...
Just caught this thread.
Best montage (for my taste) that I have seen in a while on any forum.
Agree with the above poster that works on O'Rourke b/c the clothes do not wear him. No more succinct way to put it...these are functional, those are outfits.
I had a thought today at work, regardless of whether there is a "Godfather" of AA trad, this is surely the Godmother, or at least the English great-aunt.

Re: P. J. O'Rourke: Traditional American style...
Someone mentioned him today, so here he is again.
I must strongly recommend reading the article I linked, just above.

This O'Rourke article posted a while back is a good laugh.
