Not Quite a Genius

“Nate Dern’s brain is a VitaMix that chops up Kafka, the Internet, Republicans and thousands of other cultural ingredients and blends them into hilarious little treats. The results are not just funny—which they are—but they’re even kind of profound. Highly recommended reading for those hungry for surprise.”—A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-it-All and Drop Dead Healthy“Nate is one of those writers and performers that is constantly morphing and changing, always impressing and exceeding my expectations. His book is no different—you never know where it’s going to go next, what genre, what format, what unique new take on an old idea. It’s a breath of fresh air that you can eat up bit by bit or all at once like a huge hoagie. His book is, in a lot of ways, like a really wonderful sandwich.”—Abbi Jacobson, co-creator and star of Comedy Central’s Broad City“So no, Nate Dern may not be quite a genius. Still, he has written a book that is very smart, funny, thoughtful, and that might be just what the world needs.”—The New York Times Book Review
