Club--the entertainment section of the award-winning humor publication The Onion--has been interviewing entertainers and storytellers of every style and stripe. But it has always placed an emphasis on those with hard-won careers, from amiable retirees and passionate visionaries to bitter, jilted, eternally warring cranks. Collecting dozens of The Onion A.V. Club's most entertaining and candid interviews, THE TENACITY OF THE COCKROACH offers a pop-cultural tour unlike any other." [publisher copy] Nearly 60 interviews, including Henry Rollins, Aimee Mann, Chuck Jones, Pam Grier, Tom Waits, Roger Corman, Dr. Demento, Douglas Adams, Robert Altman, Merle Haggard, Joan Jett, John Waters, dozens more, with 'recurring chats' with Bob Odenkirk & David Cross. "This book is full of the sort of fascinating character actors, sidekicks, game-show hosts, and rock 'n' rollers who can be simultaneously crabby and inspiring while they discuss making art that people actually care about."--Sarah Vowell. "In most arenas, the art of the interview is in peril. Publicists have trained their charges to regurgitate scripted anecdotes and plug upcoming projects; TV, magazines, and newspapers usually play along, fearful they'll miss an opportunity to feature the star of the moment. But editors of The Onion, the satirical newspaper, have long known that people who don't have a movie opening in 2,000 megaplexes still have something to say. While The Onion's pursuit of iconoclastic interviewees began by necessity, not design--Mr. T was more likely to grant an interview to the fledgling, Wisconsin-based publication than Mike Tyson--these strugglers, has-beens, hermits, and successful malcontents proved both more frank and more interesting in discussing their art and experiences. This anthology includes conversations with a delightfully unpredictable mix of filmmakers, musicians, writers, and more. Among the best are cynical comedian George Carlin and a curmudgeonly Harlan Ellison. Roughly organized in an attitudinal decrescendo from vitriolic to content, and interspersed with recurring chats with the creators of the late, lamented Mr. Show, these exchanges sparkle."--Booklist. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
