![]() Martin occasionally tries too hardone piece makes too much of the phrase green with envy but mostly he displays an enthusiasm for finding literate jokes wherever he. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. The best, and longest, piece, which imagines a relationship in the afterlife, is so rich with ironic twists it would be at home in one of Woody Allen’s classic books. like the best of Woody Allen.sure to delight - James Kettle * Guardian * A mix of the inspired and the absurd, with an undercurrent of surrealism that still manages to resonate as sincere.One of the most acclaimed and beloved comedians in the US - Davin O'Dwyer * Irish Times * Michael Cavna * Washington Post * Range from the straightforwardly daft - like the killing of a bee told from various different perspectives.to rather beautiful tales, like the account of a man who falls in and out of love with a ghost. Because Martin's literary quickies are so consistently clever - and his occasional longer pieces are engaging change-ups - we can conclude that the reader who fancies this brand of wry absurdism and playful labeling will be absolutely entertained from The Front to The Back. And if you relish literary humor, "This Is a Book" is a book for you. If you delight in writing that deconstructs comedy even while constructing it, his self-aware style will appeal. If you like random, short-attention-span riffs built on pithy comic premises, Martin's your man. This Is A Book is better - Malcolm Gladwell, author of 'Outliers' This Is a Probability. Silly but incredibly smart - Will Ferrell When I first saw Important Things With Demetri Martin, I said to myself, "this is the funniest thing ever." I was wrong. Embodies the essence of Demetri's comedy to perfection, which is a good thing since he wrote it. ![]()
