This Is a Book by Demetri Martin

From the renowned comedian, creator, star and executive producer/multiple title-holder of Comedy Central's Important Things with Demetri Martin comes a bold, original, and rectangular kind of humor book.



Demetri's first literary foray features longer-form essays and conceptual pieces (such as Protagonists' Hospital, a melodrama about the clinic doctors who treat only the flesh wounds and minor head scratches of Hollywood action heroes), as well as his trademark charts, doodles, drawings, one-liners, and lists (i.e., the world views of optimists, pessimists and contortionists).



Martin's unique voice and brilliant mind will keep readers in stitches from beginning to end.



Demetri Martin made a name for himself as a stand-up comedian. He was a writer for Conan O'Brien's Late Night, a regular performer on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, and the host of his own television show, Important Things with Demetri Martin. Martin has acted in a number of movies, including Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock. This Is a Book and Point Your Face at This, two of his works, were both New York Times bestsellers.
