{"product_id":"9781593763626","title":"How to Be Inappropriate","description":"Dry, offbeat, and mostly profane, this debut collection of humorous nonfiction glorifies all things inappropriate and TMI. A compendia of probing essays, lists, profiles, barstool rants, queries, pedantic footnotes, play scripts, commonplace miscellany, and overly revealing memoir, \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Inappropriate\u003c\/i\u003e adds up to the portrait of an artist who bumbles through life obsessed with one thing: extreme impropriety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Inappropriate\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Nester determines the boundary of acceptable behavior by completely disregarding it. As a twenty-something hipster, he looks for love with a Williamsburg abstract painter who has had her feet licked for money. As a teacher, he tries out curse words with Chinese students in ESL classes. Along the way, Nester provides a short cultural history on mooning and attempts to cast a spell on a neighbor who fails to curb his dog. He befriends exiled video game king Todd Rogers, re-imagines a conversation with NPR’s Terry Gross, and invents a robot version of Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo matter which misadventure catches their eye in this eclectic series of essays, \u003ci\u003eHow to Be Inappropriate\u003c\/i\u003e makes readers appreciate that someone else has experienced these embarrassing sides of life, so that they won’t have to.","brand":"Soft Skull Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134200299760,"sku":"9781593763626","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781593763626_p0.jpg?v=1763811171","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781593763626","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
