What Just Happened?! is a collection of Marina Hyde's Guardian columns, covering a range of topics from politics to pop culture. It includes eleven new columns and three new prime ministers. The book is a welcome blast of humour and sanity in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction. Hyde revisits every moment of magic, from David Cameron to Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak, and includes a cast of characters including Hollywood sex offenders, populists, sporting heroes, media barons, reality TV monsters, police officers, wicked advisers, philanthropists, fauxlanthropists, frostbitten princes, and Gwyneth Paltrow. The book is a joyous rallying voice in British journalism and is more than a gentle poke in the ribs, but also a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth.

Drawn from her spectacularly funny Guardian columns, What Just Happened?!

is a welcome blast of humour and sanity in a world where reality has become stranger than fiction.

Join Hyde as she revisits every moment of magic,

from David Cameron to Theresa May to Boris Johnson to Rishi Sunak.

Did we miss anyone? Boggle at the cast of characters: Hollywood sex offenders,

populists,

sporting heroes (and villains),

media barons,

reality TV monsters,

police officers,

wicked advisers,

philanthropists,

fauxlanthropists,

frostbitten princes and (naturally) Gwyneth Paltrow.

It's the full state banquet of crazy - and you're most cordially invited.

A joyous rallying voice in British journalism.

GRAYSON PERRY

An infinite number of gag-writers,

working all day in a gag factory,

couldn't come up with any of the perfectly-formed one-liners that populate Marina Hyde's hilarious writing ...

But behind the wit lurks real anger,

argument,

exasperation and intelligence.

Her writing is more than a gentle poke in the ribs: it's a well-wrought and deftly aimed smash in the teeth.
