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 material is varied, but his 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.
