   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   ) Martin_Maenza | Apr 14, 2017 |  While so many people think this book is funny, I actually think it is a sad. The funny man (unknown name and I wonder why that is all he is known by) has everything before he made it big. He has a wife, child, home but to me that still was not enough for him. He had to have more. He had to come up with the next big thing to get noticed. To me this book shows what can and possibly will happen when any of us think that what we have is not enough and want more. While this book was interesting I did not really like it. Maybe it has something to do with an ex-husband that had an addiction problem who knows. This is my opinion and in no way reflects the book or the author. For your own opinion of the book please take the time to read this author's work. Who knows you might like it. The bunnies and I give this book 3-Carrots. As of December 2nd I have not received the copy I won in the goodreads.com first read Up-date As of December 16, I still have not received my copy to this book.

HTML:The funny man is a middling comic in an unnamed city. By day he takes care of his infant son, by night he performs in small clubs, sandwiched between other aspiring comics. His wife waits tables to support the family. It doesn't sound like much, but they're happy, more or less. Until the day he comes up with it. His thing. His gimmick. And everything changes. He's a headliner, and the venues get bigger fast. Pretty soon it's Hollywood and a starring role in a blockbuster, all thanks to the gimmick. Which is: He performs with his fist in his mouth to the wrist. Jokes, impressions, commercialsall with his fist in his mouth to the wrist. The people want himare crazy for himbut only with his fist in his mouth. And the funny man, he is tired of having his fist in his mouth. Thus, as the novel begins, his career's in tatters, his family's left him, and he's on trial for shooting an unarmed man six times. But for the second time in his life, against all odds, he's found love. This time with another celebrity, who may or may not be sending him coded messages, and may or may not be equally in loveor even know he exists. A coruscating satire of our culture of celebrity, this debut novel documents one individual's slide from everyman to monster, even as it reveals the potential for graceand mercyin his life.
