Présentation de l'éditeur
TASTEFUL NUDES is a collection of essays, based around Dave's experiences and he hopes that maybe you could take away some vital life lessons from them. 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.
Dave wrote Tasteful Nudes mainly to make people laugh and maybe to touch a few hearts and if it ends up in leading to sex for him, well that's just a bonus.
They didn't break the mould when they made Dave Hill. There was no mould, just God poking at putty flesh till he had created one of the funniest, craziest, visionaries, it will ever be your pleasure to encounter. This book is hilarious which is no surprise, but it is also tender and wise. I loved it. Graham Norton
"Just like the man himself, Dave Hill's stories are at once childlike and totally sleazy, but always hilarious and insightful and totally Dave." Alan Cumming
"Dave Hill's genius is only surpassed by his belief in it." Moby
"Night after night of tearing it up on stage, I don't know when Dave Hill had time to write a book. But he did- and it's a treat." Kristen Schaal
"Dave Hill dispenses with the silly notion of a linear autobiography so what you get is distilled hilarity. Had me giggling like a school girl who's just seen her teacher fall over" Andi Osho
Biographie de l'auteur

Tasteful Nudes is his first collection of non-fiction essays.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. I run into Dave Hill all the time at the coffee shop in our neighborhood. He's always unshaven and badly hungover, with some 16-year-old groupie from Cleveland in tow--and he's just as funny then as he is in Tasteful Nudes. He is my idol. --Malcolm Gladwell Dave Hill speaks, rocks, and now writes with a voice so powerful and funny and compelling that I'm pretty sure he's channeling some weird god from another dimension. Basically, this dude is a comedic Cthulhu, and when you read this book, you will either go COMPLETELY MAD or BECOME A SLAVE TO HIS MAD GENIUS. Pray for the latter. --John Hodgman This book should affirm Dave Hill's rightful place as a major American humor writer. You will laugh. Buy two and brighten a friend's life as well. --Dick Cavett From the Book Jacket: Dear ridiculously attractive person who just so happens to be holding Tasteful Nudes in his or her soft and supple yet commanding hands, Hi. My name is Dave, and this is my very first collection of essays. As you can probably imagine, it pretty much has everything. In fact, if you like stories about stolen meat, animal attacks, young love, death, naked people, clergymen, rock 'n' roll, irritable Canadians, and prison, you have just hit a street called Easy because my book talks about all that stuff and a bunch of other stuff, too. Getting back to that prison thing for a second--I can think of almost no better place to read my book than from within the confines of a correctional facility. For starters, you will definitely have the time. Also, cozying up with a good book in front of your fellow inmates is a great way to show them a softer side that for some reason no one ever wants to hear about in the yard. Fear not, though, non-convicts, my book makes for a solid read outside of prison, too. At the beach, on the subway, while whitewater rafting, during couples counseling, under local anesthesia--I have personally seen to it that my book is totally readable in all these scenarios, as well as in most other scenarios out there today. It will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even think so much that you will forget all your problems while simultaneously creating a few new ones. In limited instances it has been known to cause severe dehydration and the occasional groin pull, but honestly I don't know what that's about. That said, it's probably not a bad idea to keep a glass of water handy and really stretch things out before strapping yourself in for a literary thrill ride you will want to experience again and again until you are either dead or your eyesight fails completely, whichever comes first. In fact, if I end up being wrong about any of this stuff, you can kick me right in the privates. Also, I will send you a nice ham (serves twenty). In short, you really can't lose on this one. Your man, Dave Hill. N° de réf. du vendeur 00083867721
