    About Thank You for Smoking

    NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PEOPLE AND USA TODAY • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

    Nobody blows smoke like Nick Naylor. He’s a spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies–in other words, a flack for cigarette companies, paid to promote their product on talk and news shows. The problem? He’s so good at his job, so effortlessly unethical, that he’s become a target for both anti-tobacco terrorists and for the FBI. In a country where half the people want to outlaw pleasure and the other want to sell you a disease, what will become of Nick Naylor?

    Praise

    “A savagely funny satirical farce. . . . produces moments that make you laugh out loud at their inspired absurdity.”
    –The New York Times

    “Buckley’s caricatures of Washington politics, corporate power plays, media spin control, Hollywood pretensions and the human foibles of self-delusion and denial are appallingly right on the money.”
    –San Francisco Chronicle

    “Seriously funny . . . Forget apple pie. [Buckley’s] novel is as American as pork barrels and public relations.”
    –The Atlanta Journal & Constitution

    “The superior goofball plot, raffish cast and zany sex scenes make this the funniest of Buckley’s books.”
    –Time

    “Hilarious.”
    –The New York Times Book Review
