Is This Anything? -- Jerry Seinfeld

<b>The first book in twenty-five years from "one of our great comic minds" (<i>The Washington Post</i>) features Seinfeld's best work across five decades in comedy.</b> <p/>Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub "Catch a Rising Star" as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. "Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders," Seinfeld writes. "So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth." <p/>For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this "trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners" (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jerry Seinfeld<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster<br><b>Published:</b> 11/09/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 480<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.43h x 5.58w x 1.18d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781982112721<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Jerry Seinfeld is the author of <i>Seinlanguage</i>, a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller and one of the bestselling books of the 1990s.</p>
