A selection of humorous pieces from the popular literary magazine includes "Circumstance Under Which I Would Have Sex with Some of My Fellow Jurors" and "The Ten Worst Films of All Time, as Reviewed by Ezra Pound over Italian Radio."
Meh. And again I say - meh. And can I just say that I don't LIKE McSweeney's? Okay? I live in McSweeney's-land, I feel as if San Francisco is some sort of theme park of the mind for McSweeney's, and it just flat out leaves me cold. This collection is like David Letterman in prose -- lots of silly lists, lots of snarky pastiches of easy pop culture targets, sometimes with a meta level thrown in to please the grad students. I did laugh at the bad baby names, but don't waste my time calling this literature, okay? Go back and read James Thurber, and be amazed, amazed, at the command of prose style the man has in his best work, and the amount of literary reading you have to have done to fully enjoy what he's offering. You'll laugh, but it won't be hollow laughter. ( )
Some of these are very funny. I got the book so I could reread them. Some of them are sort of funny. Some are so-so. A good random road-trip read to pass the time. ( )
A collection of various short stories/essays/lists from the infamous McSweeney's magazine/website.One of the rare books that consistently made me laugh all the way. Not as funny as the [book: McSweeney's Joke Book of Joke Books] but still a grin maker. ( )
This collection of humor from the quarterly magazine McSweeney's has a smattering of pieces that go on too long or whose shelf life has expired, but mostly it breaks mold after mold in hilarious fashion.
