Something That May Shock and Discredit You

Description

“One of our smartest, most inventive humor writers, Ortberg combines bathos
and the devotional into a revelation.” —Jordy Rosenberg, The New York Times
Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of Texts From Jane Eyre
and Merry Spinster, writer of Slate’s “Dear Prudence” column, and cofounder of
The Toast comes a hilarious and stirring collection of essays and cultural
observations spanning pop culture—from the endearingly popular to the
staggeringly obscure. Daniel M. Lavery is known for blending genres, forms,
and sources to develop fascinating new hybrids—from lyric rants to horror
recipes to pornographic scripture. In his most personal work to date, he turns
his attention to the essay, offering vigorous and laugh-out-loud funny
accounts of both popular and highbrow culture while mixing in meditations on
gender transition, family dynamics, and the many meanings of faith. From a
thoughtful analysis of the beauty of William Shatner to a sinister reimagining
of HGTV’s House Hunters, and featuring figures as varied as Anne of Green
Gables, Columbo, Nora Ephron, Apollo, and the cast of Mean Girls, Something
That May Shock and Discredit You is a hilarious and emotionally exhilarating
compendium that combines personal history with cultural history to make you
see yourself and those around you entirely anew. It further establishes Lavery
as one of the most innovative and engaging voices of his generation—and it may
just change the way you think about Lord Byron forever. Read more
