Non-Fiction Memoir
From award-winning
comedian, director, writer, and producer David Steinberg
comes the
totally original, utterly blasphemous, and hysterically
funny memoir of
a young man who emerged from a traditional Jewish childhood
to become
an international star -- all because, it seems, he kept God
in stitches. David
Steinberg was raised in Winnipeg, Canada, by parents who
expected
little from him. And no wonder. Instead of studying Talmud
in order to
become a rabbi, he chose to major in Martin and Lewis with a
minor in
basketball. As David imagines the story of his life (since
his success
otherwise makes no sense), God one day spotted him on the
playground
and decided that this young man with no ambition could go
far with His
help. Sure enough, God soon had David on network TV and
Broadway, and
selling out nightclubs across the country -- as well as
being pursued
by hot starlets. The Book of David is David
Steinberg's hilarious trip down memory lane, assuming that
the lane has
a biblical address. This wild riff on the Old Testament is
guaranteed
laughter.
