Jew Sex And Apathy
The title makes this entry seem a lot more interesting than it really is, but I wanted to tune all six of you into my latest Nerve column, which discusses the important and relevant subject of sex in Jewish youth groups. I'm sure someone from BBYO central command, if they get a hold of this one, will circumcise the rest of my penis.
As for the Apathy part, that's the title of the 16th book I've read this year. It's actually Apathy And Other Small Victories, by a young feller named Paul Neilan. It will be published by St. Martin's sometime this year. You know, if I didn't receive books to blurb, I might never read at all. Between having a two-year-old and the important business of watching baseball on television, I barely have the time to experience the transcendence of reading.
I did blurb this book, and I did enjoy it a lot. In fact, I laughed out loud many times. My blurb said something along the lines that this was what Albert Camus and John Kennedy Toole would have written if they'd collaborated on the screenplay for Office Space. In real English, it means that this book is some funny shit, and it's even a little bit gritty. Now that I've blurbed it, the book will never be heard from again. Don't tell publishers that's what happens to books I endorse. I may never read again.
