Jokes: A Memoir, considered by many to be Nayak’s magnum jocus, is a story of inspiration, courage, and jokes. Smart, brave, emotionally raw, and hysterically funny, Jokes inspires the reader to pursue their dreams fearlessly, to embrace their weirdness and live life true to themselves.

Fantastic portrayal of a life of jokes - highlighted by a flip-book video of Vinit being cool while missing a series of ping-pong shots! Highly recommended for people with a penchant for laughing hysterically (in a very high-pitched way).
Words can't describe the genius of Jokes. Vinit's book has completely changed my life for the better. I highly recommend reading this touching story of a true inspiration.
A whirling, multifaceted, witty debut. This ambitious memoir places Nayak alongside young, eclectic talents like Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Zadie Smith.
