-Titulo Original : Will Not Attend Lively Stories Of Detachment And Isolation
-Fabricante :
Plume
-Descripcion Original:
“Damn, this book is good.”-Jon Stewart“A biting, darkly hilarious collection of personal essays that begs to be read aloud.”-Chicago TribuneEmmy Award-winning writer Adam Resnick began his career at Late Night with David Letterman before honing his chops in movies and cable television, including HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show. While courageously admitting to being “euphorically antisocial,” Resnick plunges readers deep into his troubled psyche in this uproarious memoir-in-essays. Shaped by such touchstone events as a traumatic Easter egg hunt and overwrought by obsessions, he refuses to be burdened by chores like basic social obligation and personal growth, adhering to his own steadfast rule: “I refuse to do anything I don’t want to do.” Review Praise for Will Not Attend“Adam Resnick doesnt merely summon the jaundice and surprise of early David Sedaris, his mini memoirs are unpretentious reminders of John Updikes everyman absurdities and Richard Fords bewildered strivers. A biting, darkly hilarious collection of personal essays that begs to be read aloud.”-Chicago Tribune (A Best Book of the Year, 2014) “[A] gruff, wry paean to life’s indignities...essays here aren’t just stand-up skits but have actual plots-in which things go horrifically, uproariously wrong...Anyone who watches Larry David will be familiar with Resnick’s hearty style of tell-it-like-it-is meanness.”-Lisa Zeidner, The Washington Post “An anti-social work of art.”-RollingStone “[A] dark, hilarious first book….Resnick is a guy thoroughly uncomfortable in his own skin, and he knows how to wring laughs and pathos out of that fact...[he] delivers his sad little histories with wit, insight and hilarious detail. [Like] kindred spirits Louis C.K. and Larry David, he just wants the rest of the world to see how stupid it all is.”-Josh Modell, AV Club (A Favorite Book of the Year, 2014)“A streak of self-loathing runs through these stories with the anti-social Resnick repeatedly finding himself struggling through a humiliating or deeply irritating experience. However, that trenchant quality is occasionally undercut by an almost subliminal level of sweetness….Resnick’s cynical sensibilities are surprisingly raw and consistently hilarious....Will Not Attend could very well be one of the funniest books released this year.”-Splitsider “The essays reveal the potty-mouthed, definitely not politically correct, and totally opinionated author at the top of his game. He takes on Disneyland and the Disney philosophy with gusto while on the side using a family trip to destroy the relationship with his sister-in-law. His take on junk food is priceless (“Only a narcissistic asshole would consider his body a temple”). Readers will relish this book. Buy plenty.”-Booklist “The writing is sharp and sharp-tongued...the book is not for readers who are easily offended. The author’s aversion to just about everything paints him as nihilistic and cynical, but the subtle moments of genuine vulnerability remain the heart of every story. These moments prove redemptive for a character who sometimes feels beyond saving and shed light on how he developed such comically twisted viewpoints. A neurotic, unapologetic, hilarious collection.”-Kirkus “Writing a collection of short stories is a very difficult thing to do. These Adam Resnick stories are great. You read one and think, that was so well done maybe I’ll read another. You think, the next one can’t be as good, and it’s even better. I hope you read this book. It’s funny, smart and thoughtful; and it’s funny, smart and thoughtful. I loved it. I think you will as well. Did I mention I loved it? Happy reading.”-Dave Letterman “Having worked with Adam Resnick many years ago, I can easily recall he was a little nuts, but I completely forgot he was this talented and funny. Damn, this book is good.”-Jon Stewart “Adam Resnick is one of the funniest writers Ive ever known, and he proves it big-ti
