Satirist Jon Stewart’s Book Named Year’s Best

Reuters reports Political satirist Jon Stewart’s mock look at a political science college textbook “America (the Book), a Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction,” was named on Sunday the book of the year by Publishers Weekly, the trade publication of the book industry.

The magazine said, in its issue to be published on Monday, that, “in a year defined by political polemics, it seems fitting that PW’s Book of the Year be one in which the authors survey the entire political system and laugh.”
