ISBN Pure Drivel book Humor English Paperback 128 pages

Steve Martin’s talent has always defied definition: a seasoned actor, a razor-sharp screenwriter, an acclaimed playwright, and, of course, the ingenious comedian who turned King Tut into a national craze. In this widely praised collection of humourous riffs, Martin shows he is also a master of the written word. From a wildly imaginative meditation on who Lolita would be at age fifty to a send-up of the warning labels on medicine bottles, these pieces, many of which first appeared inThe New Yorker, hilariously and intelligently skewer the topic at hand.Pure Drivelwill have readers crying with laughter–and marveling that in addition to all of his many talents, Steve Martin is also a superb writer.
