Someone once told me those were the two worst things anyone could be. That someone was right. Where do I start? Being an introvert (as well as “funny,” according to the Los Angeles Times) in a world that glorifies cool isn’t easy. But when Issa Rae, the creator of the Shorty Award-winning hit series The Misadventures of Awkward Black GirlTrade Review"With MISADVENTURES OF AWKWARD BLACK GIRL, Issa shows us why she is the queen of media and why we need a multiplicity of voices in the media." * Los Angeles Times *"Issa Rae nailed it: Her book TheMisadventures of Awkward Black Girl is why the term must-read exists." * Marie Claire *"A book ripe with insights for the awkwardamong us." * Cosmo *“For fans of Mindy Kaling’s Is EveryoneHanging Out without Me?. . . ).

An authentic and freshextension of the author's successful Web series.” * Kirkus Reviews *“You'll laugh freakishly hard over the geniusYouTube star's book about everything from PDA to coworkers who always suck up” * Glamour *“Delightfully deadpan…the real discovery here is that Rae has a natural flair for narrative,showing promise as an essayist with her unique perspective…a writer to watch.” * Essence *“Cutting, laugh out loud observations.” * Uptown Magazine *“I loved this book.

That wasn't too awkward was it?" -- Larry Wilmore“In her hilarious debut book, Issa Rae uses the brilliantly wry voice she's honed in her searing and necessary webseries to tell a story that is so personal yet so universal: awkward girl becomes awkward woman, and in doing so realizes that awkward is the best way to be.” -- Lena Dunham"Farfrom awkward, Issa Rae wittily shows us how to navigate a society stillobsessed with stereotypes. Her essays are a rallying cry for all those daringto be unique, international, and fully human. A must read for thinking andfeeling people from 8 to 80." -- Susan Fales-Hill

Simon & Schuster Graces Guide
Book SynopsisAn illustrated, tongue-in-cheek guide to life from the immensely popular YouTube comedian.Trade Review"Grace Helbig is my spirit animal and I would gladly take her to lunch at Macaroni Grill so we could talk Latin conventions, first love, and hangover remedies. I wouldn't even expect her to put out."–Jenny Han, author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before“Grace Helbig is one of the funniest, most creative beings on this damn planet and if you don't read her book and enjoy the crap out of it you simply hate wonderful things.” -- Chris Hardwick, host of @midnight on Comedy Central and founder and CEO of Nerdist Industries"Grace Helbig is a sparkly vessel of wit and fun!" -- Andy Cohen, author of Most Talkative“Grace’s genius is to make you laugh even when faced with something as mundane (and terrifying) as a job interview. And her honesty about her struggles with anxiety is particularly inspiring. I’ve been an adult longer than Grace, but I was doing it wrong. After reading this book, I bought six dozen sticks of deodorant, put my underwear outside my front door, and rolled around on the floor in a blanket taco. Thanks, Grace!” -- Maureen Johnson, author of 13 Little Blue Envelopes“I've always looked up to Grace Helbig—and not only because she's a giantess!—because she has the extraordinary ability to accomplish whatever she sets out to do. I think this book is a testament to that.” -- Hannah Hart, author of My Drunk Kitchen“Helbig isn't a flash-in-the-pan Internet personality . . . she's a brilliant comedienne.” * LA Weekly *"One of YouTube's most endearing personalities." -- Variety“This book is just like Grace Helbig--hilarious, bright, and will cut you when you least expect it. Seriously, paper cuts are no joke. This is high-quality paper stock.” -- Mamrie Hart, Host of You Deserve a Drink on YouTube“Hilariously honest without missing a beat, Grace brings her irresistible voice and lovable personality to Grace's Guide. #MustReadImmediately.” -- Tyler Oakley

Simon & Schuster Dear White People
Book Synopsis*Now a Netflix Original Series* In the satirical tradition of the New York Times bestseller Stuff White People Like comes this witty companion book to the “incredibly entertaining” (Indiewire) film of the same name, which “heralds a fresh and funny new voice” (Variety).Right out of college, Justin Simien wrote a screenplay about the nuanced experiences of four black students on a predominantly white college campus. The film, Dear White People, garnered a Sundance Award for “Breakthrough Talent” and has been hailed by critics everywhere. Channeling the sensibility of the film into this book, Simien will keep you laughing with his humorous observations, even if you haven’t seen the satiric film. News Flash—the minimum number of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Rather than panic, readers are advised to purchase a copy of Dear WhitTrade Review"Seeming to draw equal measures of inspiration from Whit Stillman and Spike Lee, but with his own tart, elegant sensibility very much in control, Mr. Simien evokes familiar campus stereotypes only to smash them and rearrange the pieces." -- A. O. Scott * The New York Times *

New York University Press God Mocks
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2016 Religious Communication Association Book of the Year AwardIn God Mocks, Terry Lindvall ventures into the muddy and dangerous realm of religious satire, chronicling its evolution from the biblical wit and humor of the Hebrew prophets through the Roman Era and the Middle Ages all the way up to the present. He takes the reader on a journey through the work of Chaucer and his Canterbury Tales, Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, and Mark Twain, and ending with the mediated entertainment of modern wags like Stephen Colbert. Lindvall finds that there is a method to the madness of these mockers: true satire, he argues, is at its heart moral outrage expressed in laughter. But there are remarkable differences in how these religious satirists express their outrage.The changing costumes of religious satirists fit their times. The earthy coarse language of Martin Luther and Sir Thomas More during the carnival spirit of the late medieval period was refined with the enlightened wit of AlexTrade ReviewLindvalls prose is elegant, and he is a fine guide on this rollicking, significant tour de force that belongs in all academic literature. * Catholic Library World *God Mocksleads readers through the comic savagery that believers have perfected over the centuries...Lindvall's book unfurls a delightfully variegated tapestry. * Christianity Today *Readers of Lindvall will certainly understand satire better, while homilists who borrow from his wealth of examples will prompt at least a few hearty laughs from the pews. * Emmanuel *This is an excellent overview and introduction to numerous authors of religious satire...will appeal to readers of literary criticism and church history buffs seeking a unique perspective. * Library Journal *Lindvall provides a comedic...analysis of the role of satire in religious life across the ages. Lindvall makes the case that satire has been part of religious observances from the outset. * Publishers Weekly *God Mocksshould be required reading for all ministers and religious bloggers that regularly speak or write with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other. * Patheos *From Balaam's ass to Erasmus to Kierkegaard to The Onion, Lindvall finds redemption in satire's impulse to make us better human beings. * The Christian Century *God Mocksis a catalogue of hundreds of years of religious satire, parody, caricature, commentary, and mockery and most importantly, the differencebetween each and why some are more effective than others all intended to comment on the influence and practices of various religion orders and organizations over the centuries. * San Francisco Book Review *Terry Lindvall, a stand-up comedian cleverly disguised as an academic, makes the difficult art of humor look easy withGod Mocks. * Virginia-Pilot *Lindvall showcases his breadth as a historian and flair as a writer. He presents an abundance of content with a witty turn of phrase, which many will drink in with delight … it seems implicit that the book was written for educated readers—those who have some knowledge of history and comedic writing. It would certainly be suitable for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate level classroom. -- Religious Studies ReviewThis is a godsend for those interested in the role of humor in Christianity. It is remarkably comprehensive and detailed without being pedantic. Lindvalls writing sparkles with the same wit he is chronicling, making this book a delight to read. -- John Morreall,author of Comedy, Tragedy, and ReligionI read Lindvalls book with great appreciation and learned a lot. It contained so much more than I expected, a virtual history of religious mockery, which no one has attempted before. It is a significant contribution to religious and cultural studies. Beside that, it is a just plain good read. -- Harvey Cox,Hollis Research Professor of Divinity, Harvard University
