Vanity Fair editor Mike Sacks, who holds a dear place in my heart because of his efforts to promote my book, has his own book. And Here's the Kicker is a collection of interviews with 21 comedy writers from TV, publishing, film and the interweb.
If you like humor, aspire to write humor, or write humor and want to know what the hell you have to do to get published in the New Yorker, it's well worth reading. The insight on The Onion movie disaster alone is worth the book's weight in gold - which would currently be $16,131 because I checked.
Obviously you can find it in bookstores, or online book behemoth Amazon.
