The World According to Rod

Rod Liddle was more than a columnist. He embodied the spirit of The Spectator’s like few others. Hilarious, irreverent, mischievous and fearless, he never shied away from saying what he thought – particularly when he suspected nobody else dared say it. His prose could be outrageous, exuberant and devastatingly deadpan, often all at once.

The World According to Rod is a celebration of one of The Spectator’s greatest and most-loved writers, bringing together the very best of his columns. From the politically incorrect to the seemingly unmentionable, this is Rod on the subjects that fascinated, amused and enraged him.

Immigration. The BBC. Metropolitan groupthink. Political correctness. Establishment hypocrisy. The culture wars. And the innumerable absurdities of modern Britain. Nothing was off limits. Nobody was safe.
