Will Not Attend: Lively Stories of Detachment and Isolation

By Adam Resnick

Book Overview

"Damn, this book is good."--Jon Stewart

"A biting, darkly hilarious collection of personal essays that begs to be read aloud."--Chicago Tribune

Emmy Award-winning writer Adam Resnick began his career at Late Night with David Letterman before honing his chops in movies and cable television, including HBO's The Larry Sanders Show. While courageously admitting to being "euphorically antisocial," Resnick plunges readers deep into his troubled psyche in this uproarious memoir-in-essays. Shaped by such touchstone events as a traumatic Easter egg hunt and overwrought by obsessions, he refuses to be burdened by chores like basic social obligation and personal growth, adhering to his own steadfast rule: "I refuse to do anything I don't want to do."
