Library Turns an Adjective into a Noun
Dysfunctional is the name of the Syracuse Library book club that looks at authors from the crazy state of Florida. Dave Barry is known for his syndicated columns and related books that poke fun of topics from the news. In spite of pushing ironic commentary to the limit Barry has won a Pulitzer Prize. Barry is the author of 50 books, and several are adult fiction. Dysfunctional is focusing on the biography of the Miami author with attention to the books, Lunatics and Insane City.
