Granted, a gay New Jersey Jew in a convent...is practically its own punch line, but Rudnick is a likable and accomplished raconteur who never loses sight of his own absurdity...[He] is so glib and weightless as to make David Sedaris seem like Samuel Beckett, but only the most sour and jaded reader will be able to resist him." "Paul Rudnick is at his funniest, which is very funny, when he writes about his experiences in Hollywood films and the New York theater." "[U]proarious....Irresistible screeds against the indignities of modern urban life, [these essays] introduce us to a despotic enforcer of rigid codes of conduct, an affronted citizen eager and willing to see the most extreme, even lethal, measures used to combat cellphone addicts...[and] people who wield credit cards to pay for cabs..." Publisher's noteA humorist trains eye his on a range of subjects--from living in a series of increasingly bizarre, yet fabulous apartments in New York City to dealing with some of the most perplexing yet endearing personalities in show business to handling the finer points of putting up with, and loving, one's wacky family. 50,000 first printing. A humorist trains eye on a range of subjects--from living in a series of increasingly bizarre, yet fabulous apartments in New York City to dealing with some of the most perplexing yet endearing personalities in show business to handling the finer points of putting up with, and loving, one's wacky family. 50,000 first printing. AnnotationPaul Rudnick is best known for his witty and insightful essays in The New Yorker. Now, in I SHUDDER, he hilariously recounts his life in New Jersey, his oddball family, and his experience as a screenwriter. In his wry and endearing voice, Rudnick quips about his life experience, and life in general, and his observations are both touching and humorous, placing him alongside the likes of David Sedaris and Beth Lisick. "I Shudder" offers a brilliant, side-splitting collection of essays from one of America's preeminent humorists.
