  _Consider the Lobster_ has him subverting a Gourmet magazine writing assignment about the Maine lobster festival. _A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again_ is perhaps his most famous, about the Illinois state fair. _Host_ explores a conservative radio talk show; the original Atlantic article had an interesting layout to accomodate his footnotes. _Big Red Son_ has him at the Adult Video Awards in Vegas. A bit TMI for me, but still well written.
