Armando Iannucci writes satire, essays and comic commentary about politics, media and the language of public life. The Audacity of Hype collects columns and pieces on British and American politics, television, advertising and cultural absurdity, using the same compressed irritation and verbal precision found in his screen work. Hear Me Out turns to music, selecting classical pieces and explaining what he hears in them without adopting the tone of a formal musicologist. Other published work often sits close to scripts, radio and television comedy rather than conventional literary fiction. Iannucci's prose is dry, quick and sharply attentive to euphemism, jargon and institutional nonsense. His work fits political satire, humorous essays and accessible writing about culture.
