Review
Embodies the essence of Demetri's comedy to perfection, which is a good thing since he wrote it. Silly but incredibly smart (Will Ferrell)
When I first saw Important Things With Demetri Martin, I said to myself, "this is the funniest thing ever." I was wrong. This Is A Book is better (Malcolm Gladwell, author of 'Outliers')
This Is a Probability. If you like random, short-attention-span riffs built on pithy comic premises, Martin's your man. If you delight in writing that deconstructs comedy even while constructing it, his self-aware style will appeal. And if you relish literary humor, "This Is a Book" is a book for you.
... Because Martin's literary quickies are so consistently clever - and his occasional longer pieces are engaging change-ups - we can conclude that the reader who fancies this brand of wry absurdism and playful labeling will be absolutely entertained from The Front to The Back.
Range[s] from the straightforwardly daft - like the killing of a bee told from various different perspectives...to rather beautiful tales, like the account of a man who falls in and out of love with a ghost... like the best of Woody Allen...sure to delight (James Kettle Guardian)
A mix of the inspired and the absurd, with an undercurrent of surrealism that still manages to resonate as sincere...One of the most acclaimed and beloved comedians in the US (Davin O'Dwyer Irish Times)
