A hilarious book of essays from comedian, This American
Life contributor, and rock god Dave Hill.
Dave Hill is like any other guy just trying to make it
through life. He has accidentally arranged a lunch with a
high-end prostitute, he’s become an unwitting accomplice
to the theft of three hundred pounds of meat, and he’s
lost his innocence to a Japanese toilet. Average, run-of-
the-mill stuff. His collection of mind-blowing (and mildly
superlative) essays recollect real life experiences of a
grown man who hasn’t borrowed money from any of his family
members in a seriously long time. Nearly every page is
packed with red-hot action, startling emotion, and
borderline futuristic insights all delivered in scorching
and largely grammatically correct verse. Dave Hill wrote
this book mainly to make people laugh, cry, soil
themselves, and maybe even touch a few hearts. And if it
ends up leading to sex for him, well that’s just a bonus.
