Steve Almond (Not That You Asked)
Punch the Bully!

The (Latest) Dope

How do you like that, America? A new president, one who doesn't hate poor people.

To all you freaks who bought books for Obama, a big democracy luvin' THANK YOU. You helped raise $860 for our 44th Prez. And to everyone who hosted me on the Swing State Tour, please thank yourselves for turning Florida, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Minnesota blue.

What else? Oh yeah, (Not that You Asked) is out in paperback.

Here's what the critics had to say about that book...

"A rich, fearless, cutting collection of essays." — The Los Angeles Times

"An absurdly funny collection." — The Boston Globe

"Mr. Almond ricochets between humiliations, both real and invented, with stubborn charisma. Taunting, revealing, irreverent and earnest." — The New York Times
