This slick volume is full of compulsively readable and downright
perverted nuggets.
--Time Out Chicago [A] hilarious treat.
--Los Angeles Times A deeply thoughtful compendium of literary
pieces.... Leave it to the folks at McSweeney's to tap Apatow's
Updike-ian erudition. It speaks remarkably well of him that he
esteems the delicate humor of such intricately crafted pieces as
Raymond Carver's 'Elephant' and Flannery O'Connor's 'Good Country
People.' It speaks even better of him that the profits from his
book -- which mixes these subtle humor pieces with more flat-out
funny stuff from Philip Roth, David Sedaris, Steve Martin, Nora
Ephron and Jonathan Ames, among many others -- go to 826 National,
the organization committed to promoting creative writing among
students age 6 to 18.
--John McAlley, NPR
