John Crace is a British journalist and author best known as The Guardian's parliamentary sketch writer, where his sharp, satirical commentary on British politics has earned him a devoted readership. His sketch writing has been collected in several books, and he is known for his "Digested Read" column, in which he humorously condenses popular books into a few hundred words. Crace's political writing combines acerbic wit with genuine insight, capturing the absurdities of Westminster with precision and humour. His books and audiobooks are essential reading and listening for anyone interested in British politics, offering a wry, entertaining antidote to the often bewildering world of parliamentary proceedings.
