Non-Fiction Memoir
Knocked Up revealed that schlubs really can become studs—
here's how! For years after college, Max Gross was a schlubby ne'er-do-
well sporting an unwieldy Jewfro. He fought off double-
chins and man-boobs. His style of dress was reminiscent of
a stoned urban slacker. Young Max Gross truly was hapless
in a big city. He was seemingly without luck or hope. He
had bedbugs, a bad break-up, and an audit by the IRS that
threatened to break his soul. But he had heart (as well as
two nagging parents). When Gross saw the smash comedy
Knocked Up, he realized his day might have arrived. All
these years of being a world-class schlub would finally pay
off. Thinking quickly, Gross wrote an article about the
phenomenon and soon found true love. In this hilarious memoir-cum-guidebook, our curly-headed
hero shares his story and offers suggestions on leaving
home (the bedbugs and consequent breakup forced a move back
to his parents' loving arms), losing weight (but not too
much), dressing well, playing poker to fulfill the typical
schlub obsession with being good at sports, and much more.
Naturally, the quest to find the right woman is of critical
importance, and Gross expounds on this thoroughly. Readers
will come away from the book enlightened, informed, and
laughing hysterically.
