Product Information

When I first saw Important Things With Demetri Martin, I said to myself, "this is the funniest thing ever." I was wrong.This Is A Book is better -- Malcolm Gladwell, Author Of 'outliers' This Is a Probability. If you like random, short-attention-span riffs built on pithy comic premises, Martin's your man. If you delight in writing that deconstructs comedy even while constructing it, his self-aware style will appeal. And if you relish literary humor, "This Is a Book" is a book for you. ... Because Martin's literary quickies are so consistently clever - and his occasional longer pieces are engaging change-ups - we can conclude that the reader who fancies this brand of wry absurdism and playful labeling will be absolutely entertained from The Front to The Back. -- Michael Cavna Washington Post
