What Just Happened?! – Marina Hyde Marina Hyde has worked for the Guardian newspaper since 2000. This book is both a collation of columns that she has written for that paper and also new work. It has, of course, been a news period when Hyde’s column has been necessary – a constant supply source for her take on events. Her writing is both phenomenally funny but also incisive at the same time. The cast of characters that she writes about in the book includes Hollywood sex offenders, media barons, telly chefs, Gwyneth Paltrow, sporting heroes, Donald Trump and more. ‘It’s the full state banquet of crazy – and you’re most cordially invited.’ As Armando Iannucci writes in the blurb on the back cover of the book ‘behind Hyde’s wit lurks real anger. Her writing is more than a gentle poke in the ribs: it’s a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth.’ Hardback. 472 pages. Measurements: 16cm x 24.2cm x 4cm
