This book, his first, is a spleen-bruisingly funny omnibus that ranges from absurdist monologues (?Martin Luther King, Jr's Worst Speech Ever\") to intentionally bad theater (?Hitler Dinner Party: A Play\"); from avant-garde fiction (?Obituary for the Creator of Madlibs\") to free-verse poetry that's funnier and more powerful than the work of Calvin Trillin, Jewel, and Robert Louis Stevenson combined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOdenkirk's debut resembles nothing so much as a hilarious new sketch comedy show that's exclusively available as a streaming video for your mind. As Odenkirk himself writes in ?The Second Coming of Jesus and Lazarus,\" it is a book ?to be read aloud to yourself in the voice of Bob Newhart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBob Odenkirk\u003c\/b\u003e has won two Emmy Awards for comedy writing, for \u003ci\u003eSaturday Night Live\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ben Stiller Show\u003c\/i\u003e. He co-created and starred in \u003ci\u003eMr. Show with Bob and David\u003c\/i\u003e, which ran on HBO and has been called ?the American Monty Python,\" which is perhaps a bit of an overstatement in his opinion. Bob has written short comic pieces for the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and had a regular page in \u003ci\u003eVice\u003c\/i\u003e magazine - and there's not much overlap between those two publications, is there? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBob has directed three feature films: \u003ci\u003eMelvin Goes To Dinner, Let's Go To Prison\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Solomon\u003c\/i\u003e, all of which underwhelmed, admittedly, but Melvin is worth watching, for sure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBob has had many other memorable roles on TV, most notably \u003ci\u003eThe Larry Sanders Show\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCurb Your Enthusiasm\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow I Met Your Mother\u003c\/i\u003e (CBS), and \u003ci\u003eThe Office\u003c\/i\u003e (NBC).
