After a decade spent in isolation in the Ugandan jungles thinking
about stuff, David Cross has written his first book. Known for
roles on the small screen such as "never-nude" Tobias Funke on
"Arrested Development "and the role of "David" in "Mr. Show With
Bob And David, "as well as a hugely successful stand-up routine
full of sharp-tongued rants and rages, Cross has carved out his
place in American comedy. Whether deflating the pomposity of
religious figures, calling out the pathetic symbiosis of
pseudo-celebrity and its leaching fandom, or merely pushing the
buttons of the way-too-easily offended P.C. left or the caustic,
double-standard of the callous (but funnier) right, Cross has
something to say about everyone, including his own ridiculous self.
Now, for the first time, Cross is weaving his media mockery,
celebrity denunciation, religious commentary and sheer madness into
book form, revealing the true story behind his almost existential
distaste of Jim Belushi ("The Belush"), disclosing the up-to-now
unpublished minutes to a meeting of Fox television network
executives, and offering up a brutally grotesque run-in with Bill
O'Reilly. And as if this wasn't enough for your laughing pleasure
in these troubled times, some of the pieces splinter off with
additional material being created online in exclusive video and
animated web content created solely for the book-a historical first
(presumably)!
With a mix of personal essays, satirical fiction posing as truth,
advice for rich people, information from America's least favorite
Rabbi and a top-ten list of top-ten lists, I DRINK FOR A REASON is
as unique as the comedian himself, and cannot be missed.
