This is a Book by Demetri Martin5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() I legitimately can’t tell anymore whether comedians are mildly amusing, or whether they are sidesplittingly hilarious and I’m just not into laughing these days. 'The reader who fancies this brand of wry absurdism and playful labeling will be absolutely entertained from The Front to The Back. This is a book review This Is a Book by Demetri Martin Jby KimMiE' Leave a Comment Damn you, pandemic. 'A mix of the inspired and the absurd.' Irish Times like the best of Woody Allen's short fiction.' Guardian 'Ranges from the straightforwardly daft to rather beautiful tales. Add in hilarious pieces on The Deleted Scene from A Christmas Carol, A Cappella Group Freak Accidents and Frustrating Uses of Etc., and This is a Book you'll never want to put down. The very best of those are collected here, from his acclaimed comic drawings and the world's worst comeback lines, to brilliant charts and graphs (Incidence of Lung Cancer in Dragons, a Sad Clown/Happy Clown venn diagram) and a bittersweet ghost love story. Demetri Martin is a Very Important Award-Winning Comedian, so spends a lot of his time travelling around, with a notebook, filling it with jokes and incredibly long palindromes (over 500-words long, in fact). ![]()
