| Publisher Description: For more information, visit McSweeneys.net Bob Odenkirk is a legend in the comedy-writing world, winning Emmys and acclaim for his work on Saturday Night Live, Mr. Show with Bob and David, and many other seminal TV shows. This book, his first, is a spleen-bruisingly funny omnibus that ranges from absurdist monologues (?Martin Luther King, Jr's Worst Speech Ever") to intentionally bad theater (?Hitler Dinner Party: A Play"); from avant-garde fiction (?Obituary for the Creator of Madlibs") to free-verse poetry that's funnier and more powerful than the work of Calvin Trillin, Jewel, and Robert Louis Stevenson combined. Odenkirk's debut resembles nothing so much as a hilarious new sketch comedy show that's exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in ?The Second Coming of Jesus and Lazarus," it is a book ?to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart." |
