Publisher Description

Isn't so and so a snob? he asks. She won't even admit she liked Grease. Looking for an author who ponders the imponderable, expresses the inexpressible, describes the indescribable, and leaves no burning issue of American popular culture or world concern unexamined? Well, you'll find him in Mark Leyner. On this recording, Leyner, one of the most gifted and original young American writers around, reads 6 prose pieces from his first published book.

"Maybe the third funniest of Leyner's weird books. I feel an unsettling kinship with this writer's brain. His sense of humor isn't for everyone, but if you're a weirdo needing a belly-laugh you need look no further. "

    " I loved, loved, loved the first Leyner book I read (The Tetherballs of Bougainsville) and hated this one an equal amount. Lacking any of the consistency that makes Tetherballs outrageously funny, this book feels like intellectual punishment. "
