- Comedian
- Lewis
- Black
- unleashes
- his
- trademark
- subversive
- wit
- while
- recounting
- his
- own
- life
- story
- in
- his
- New
- York
- Times
- bestselling
- memoir.You've
- seen
- him
- on
- The
- Daily
- Show
- with
- Jon
- Stewart
- offering
- up
- his
- trademark
- angry
- observational
- humor
- on
- everything
- from
- politics
- to
- pop
- culture.
- You've
- seen
- his
- energetic
- stand-up
- performances
- on
- HBO,
- Comedy
- Central,
- and
- in
- venues
- across
- the
- globe.
- Now,
- for
- the
- first
- time,
- Lewis
- Black
- translates
- his
- volcanic
- eruptions
- into
- book
- form
- in
- Nothing's
- Sacred,
- a
- collection
- of
- rants
- against
- stupidity
- and
- authority,
- which
- oftentimes
- go
- hand
- in
- hand.With
- subversive
- wit
- and
- intellectual
- honesty,
- Lewis
- examines
- the
- events
- of
- his
- life
- that
- shaped
- his
- antiauthoritarian
- point
- of
- view
- and
- developed
- his
- comedic
- perspective.
- Growing
- up
- in
- 1950s
- suburbia
- when
- father
- knew
- best
- and
- there
- was
- a
- sitcom
- to
- prove
- it,
- he
- began
- to
- regard
- authority
- with
- a
- jaundiced
- eye
- at
- an
- early
- age.
- And
- as
- that
- sentiment
- grew
- stronger
- with
- each
- passing
- year,
- so
- did
- his
- ability
- to
- hone
- in
- on
- the
- absurd.True
- to
- form,
- he
- puts
- common
- sense
- above
- ideology
- and
- distills
- hilarious,
- biting
- commentary
- on
- all
- things
- politically
- and
- culturally
- relevant.
- "No
- one
- is
- safe
- from
- Lewis
- Black's
- comic
- missiles."
