Pure Drivel

Pure Drivel Synopsis

The brilliantly funny New York Times bestseller from beloved actor and comedian Steven Martin.

"The funniest book I've ever read." -Neil Simon, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright

Steve Martin's talent has always defied definition: a seasoned actor, a razor-sharp screenwriter, an acclaimed playwright, and, of course, the ingenious comedian who turned King Tut into a national craze. In this widely praised collection of humorous riffs, Martin shows he is a master of the written word.

From a re-imagining of the Schroedinger's Cat conundrum to a wild meditation on who Lolita would be at age fifty to a skit entitled "I Love Loosely", in which Lucy and Ricky Ricardo play the parts of Hillary and President Clinton, this collection by comic genius Steve Martin-some pieces of which have appeared in The New Yorker-is both hilariously funny and intelligent in its skewering of the topic at hand.
