How to be Inappropriate by Daniel Nester
Dry, offbeat and mostly profane, this debut collection of hilarious non-fiction glorifies all things inappropriate - arguments, lists, barstool rants, pedantic footnotes, profiles and overly revealing memoirettes,.How to be Inappropriate adds up to a portrait of a 20-something, bachelor-cum-husband man-about-town who bumbles through life obsessed with one thing - impropriety. Determining the boundary of acceptable behaviour, How to be Inappropriate will make readers appreciate that someone else has also experienced the more embarrasing side of life.
