Description

From the renowned comedian, creator, star and executive producer/multiple title-holder of Comedy Central's Important Things with Demetri Martin comes a bold, original, and rectangular kind of humor book.

Demetri's first literary foray features longer-form essays and conceptual pieces (such as Protagonists' Hospital, a melodrama about the clinic doctors who treat only the flesh wounds and minor head scratches of Hollywood action heroes), as well as his trademark charts, doodles, drawings, one-liners, and lists (i.e., the world views of optimists, pessimists and contortionists), Martin's material is varied, but his unique voice and brilliant mind will keep readers in stitches from beginning to end.

    Dimitri has a way of making you think and his jokes are clever. This book is one that i bought the paper version of because i intend to reread at least once a year. Its a funny outside of the box comedic read.
  • Great book!

    I read it in two days, I was clinging to it. This is just a very funny book! I was already a fan of his stand-up & TV show, but this has got to be some of his best work.
  • Amazing book!

    I think he's one of the funniest comedians but this book is terrible. I have a super high IQ. And I am naturally funny. I have studied under comedic geniuses. Also i have really huge arms. So my critique is important.
  • Great book
