A Load of Hooey: A Collection of New Short Humor Fiction (Bob Odenkirk Memorial Library series, Book 1)
[*Read by the author - Bob Odenkirk, and David Cross, Jay Johnston, Jerry Minor, Megan Amram, Paul F. Tompkins]
Don't miss this debut short-humor collection from a comedy-writing legend.
Bob Odenkirk is a legend in the comedy-writing world, winning Emmys and acclaim for his work on Saturday Night Live, Mr. Show with Bob and David, and many other seminal television shows. This book, his first, is a spleen-bruisingly funny omnibus that ranges from absurdist monologues (''Martin Luther King Jr.'s Worst Speech Ever'') to intentionally bad theater (''Hitler Dinner Party: A Play''), from avant-garde fiction (''Obit for the Creator of Madlibs'') to free-verse poetry that's funnier and more powerful than the work of Calvin Trillin, Jewel, and Robert Louis Stevenson combined.
Odenkirk's debut resembles nothing so much as a hilarious new sketch comedy show that's exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in ''The Second Meeting of Jesus and Lazarus,'' it is a book ''to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart.''
