Synopsis: Comic essays from the author of Farrell Covington and the Limits of Style: &“There&’s no book wiser or half as funny as I Shudder.&” —David Sedaris I Shudder is a side-splittingly funny collection of essays from Paul Rudnick, one of America&’s preeminent humorists—a playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and regular contributor to the New Yorker. The reviews say it all: &“A hilarious, often touching hodgepodge of essays about his work and his life with his pleasingly demented family.&” —People (4 stars) &“Uproariously self-deprecating essays about being gay and Jewish in suburban New Jersey and downtown Manhattan.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“A likable and accomplished raconteur who never loses sight of his own absurdity.&” —The Washington Post &“Smart, dishy, and very funny.&” —Daily News &“An acerbic and entertaining memoir.&” —Entertainment Weekly &“I Shudder is filled with deeply funny musings and adventures that elevate Paul Rudnick to the highest level of American comedy writing. It should be noted that I would be at the highest level of American comedy writing if I had had Paul&’s early advantages.&” —Steve Martin
