Tasteful Nudes

A hilarious book of essays from comedian, This American Life contributor, and rock god Dave Hill. Dave Hill is like any other guy just trying to make it through life. He has accidentally arranged a lunch with a high-end prostitute, he’s become an unwitting accomplice to the theft of three hundred pounds of meat, and he’s lost his innocence to a Japanese toilet. Average, run-of-the-mill stuff. His collection of mind-blowing (and mildly superlative) essays recollect real life experiences of a grown man who hasn’t borrowed money from any of his family members in a seriously long time. Nearly every page is packed with red-hot action, startling emotion, and borderline futuristic insights all delivered in scorching and largely grammatically correct verse. Dave Hill wrote this book mainly to make people laugh, cry, soil themselves, and maybe even touch a few hearts. And if it ends up leading to sex for him, well that’s just a bonus.
