Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertainΒment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films Big Fan and Ratatouille, as well as the television hit The King of Queens, Patton Oswaltβa staple of Comedy Centralβhas been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape. Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He rememΒbers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, includΒing a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then thereβs the bookβs centerpiece, which posits that before all young creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on one of three story lines: zomΒbies, spaceships, or wastelands. Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our societyβs wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswaltβs wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining βwasteland.β
