When "New York Times" bestselling author and comedian Jim Norton
isn't paying for massages with happy endings, or pretending to be
fooled by transsexuals he picks up, he spends his time wondering
what certain people would look like on fire...
What do Heather Mills, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Dr. Phil
have in common? Jim Norton hates their guts. And he probably hates
yours, too, especially if you're a New York Yankee, Starbucks
employee, or Steve Martin.
In thirty-five hilarious essays, "New York Times" bestselling
author and comedian Jim Norton spews bile on the people he loathes.
Enjoy his blistering attacks on Derek Jeter, Hillary Clinton, fatso
Al Roker, and mush-mouthed Jesse Jackson. It's utterly hilarious --
and utterly relatable if you've ever bitten a stranger's face or
thrown a bottle through the TV screen while watching the news.
But don't think Jim just dishes loads of shit on his
self-proclaimed enemies; he is equally atrocious to himself. He
savages himself for his humiliating days as a white homeboy, his
balletlike spins in the outfield during a little league game, and
his embarrassingly botched attempt at a celebrity shout-out while
taping his new HBO stand-up series.
Uncomfortably honest, "I Hate Your Guts" is probably the best
example of emotional vomiting you'll ever read. But there is hope;
at the end of each essay, Jim generously offers helpful suggestions
as to how the offender can make things right again: Eliot Spitzer:
If you run for re-election, instead of shaking hands with voters,
let them smell your fingers.
Reverend Al Sharpton: The next time you feel the need to
protest, do so dressed as an elk in Ted Nugent's backyard.
Hillary Clinton: When you absolutely must make a point of
laughing publicly, don't fake it. Just think of something that
genuinely makes you laugh, like lowering taxes or any random male
having his penis cut off.
For the legions of devoted fans who know Jim Norton for his raw,
sometimes brutal comedy, "I Hate Your Guts" is what you've been
waiting for. But even more important -- it's a great book to read
while taking a shit.
