Holidays in Heck
Holidays in Heck: A Former War Correspondent Experiences Frightening Vacation Fun is a 2011 book by P. J. O'Rourke about the author's travels to various venues.[1]
In the book, O'Rourke recounts family vacations to various tourist destinations, such as the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and the Galápagos Islands.[2] It is loosely modeled after his earlier book Holidays in Hell.
In the introduction, O'Rourke states, "[After my experiences as a war correspondent] I decided to write about pleasant places. ... I'd always been where people were shooting each other ... How, I wondered, does one undertake enjoyably going somewhere enjoyable?"
