9780525950349: More Information Than You Require

Inhaltsangabe

Like its predecessor, More Information Than You Require compiles incredibly handy made up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, frighteningly complex charts, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes such as:

THE PAST (because there is always more)
THE FUTURE (because they say there is still some left to discuss)
HOW TO BE A FAMOUS MINOR TV PERSONALITY (hint: go on television)
GAMBLING: THE SPORT OF THE ASTHMATIC MAN (includes hermit crab racing)
THE SECRETS OF HOLLYWOOD

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Before he went on television, John Hodgman was a simple writer, expert and former professional literary agent living in New York City. In this capacity he has served as the humour editor for The New York Times Magazine; an occasional public radio personality for This American Life; an advice columist for McSweeney's; and a freelance journalist specializing in food, non-wine alcohol, Battlestar Galactica and most other subjects. This was enough of a career for any human. But then he wrote a book of COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE entitled The Areas of My Expertise and was asked to appear on The Daily Show where he continues to provide commentary as the show's "resident expert".
