TITLE OF BOOK: JACK SH*T: VOLUPTUOUS BAGELS AND OTHER CONCERNS OF JACK FRIEDMAN (JACK SH*T VOLUME 1)
AUTHOR OF BOOK: JACK FRIEDMAN
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
An essayist, reporter, standup comedian, and political columnist, his work has appeared in Esquire, The Progressive Populist, Inside Media; The Las Vegas Review-Journal; and AAPG EXPLORER, a magazine for petroleum geologists, which is all the more noteworthy, considering he knows little about petroleum geology and has hurt himself pumping his own gas, Barry does radio commentary on Public Radio Tulsa and appeared in UHF with “Weird Al" Yankovic, a movie which still provides him with $3.76 residual checks every time it plays at some Lithuanian drive-in.

REVIEW:
This is the relationship, including many trips to many 2-for-1 buffets in many different cities, between a 90-something father and his 60-something son over the last 20 years of the father’s life. Through carefully prepared decaf, trips to Florida to see the relatives, hearing loss, dementia, VA visits, playing “Crap” at Indian casinos, and living at “The Hebrew Home,” the father, a Purple Heart recipient (maybe) and a CPA (maybe), wrings every ounce out of life that he can. And a son takes notes throughout it all.
REVIEWER’S BYLINE:
Barry is also the author of Jacob Fishman's Marriages, Funny You Should Mention It, Road Comic, Four Days And Year Later, and The Joke Was on Me.
