Now, in his first book, he presents a blistering collection of new and newly expanded essays amp;mdash; including the achingly funny viral hit \"Things You Only Know When Both Your Parents Are Dead.\" In this audiobook, he travels to Saudi Arabia, where he acts as a perplexed bystander at a camel pageant; offers a survival guide for the modern dinner party (i.e. how to tactfully escape at the first sign of an adult board game); and gets pitted head-to-head, again and again, with an unpredictable, unpitying subspecies of Londoner: the landlord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough it all, he shows that no matter how cruel the misfortune, how absurd the circumstance, there's always the soft punch of a lesson tucked within.
