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 (“Obituary 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.\u003cp\u003eOdenkirk'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 Coming of Jesus and Lazarus,” it is a book “to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McSweeney's Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044212195568,"sku":"9781938073885","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938073885_p0.jpg?v=1763663479","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938073885","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
