Additional Nothing's Sacred Information
|
|
You've seen him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart offering up his trademark angry observational humor on everything from politics to pop culture. You've seen his energetic stand-up performances on HBO, Comedy Central, and in venues across the globe. Now Lewis Black's volcanic eruptions can be found in Nothing's Sacred, a collection of rants against stupidity and authority, which oftentimes go hand in hand. With subversive wit and intellectual honesty, Lewis examines the events of his life that shaped his antiauthoritarian point of view and developed his comedic perspective. Growing up in 1950s suburbia when father knew best and there was a sitcom to prove it, he began to regard authority with a jaundiced eye at an early age. And as that sentiment grew stronger with each passing year, so did his ability to hone in on the absurd. True to form, he puts common sense above ideology and distills hilarious, biting commentary on all things politically and culturally relevant.

What Customers Say About Nothing's Sacred:
|
|
The item was as advertised, arrived in very good condition, and arrived in less time than expected.
It's his life story, and it's really not that funny. I bought this thinking it would be a funny take on current events, like his comedy.
Being a contemporary, I fully appreciated his historic perspectives. Lewis Black' intelligence and writing ability come through in this book.
Although I found the college years portion of this audiobook least interesting, I did enjoy the whole thing. A lot of it is very informative and interesting historical facts that Lewis Black experienced growing up and going to college in the 60s. This is a memoir of Lewis Black's life. Some of it is really funny, some of it isn't.
Mission accomplished. This book was a gift for a Lewis Black fan. They said they liked it very much and it was funny.
