This is Matty Goldberg's second book after the success of the New York Time's best seller, Brain Humor. Some critics have said it was the greatest book ever written. Join Matty as he retells stories about his life through ten comedic essays in his second book, No IQ. No matter what race, religions or creed you are, No IQ will be your Catcher in the Rye.
One of the best things about humor is that allows you to gently open the tender side of the deeply personal, including pain. Matty Goldberg, an accomplished stand-up comic, delivers once again through a series of short essays that exposes some of the rawest moments of his teenage and adult years in a way that will make you laugh out loud and feel the drama and sadness at the same time. Having grown up as an acquaintance, I could relate to many of his junior high and high school tales and though we were not close friends, his experience thanks to place and time and some common friends, truly resonated with me. My favorites were "No IQ," which details his short lived career as a punk rock drummer and an epic battle of the bands, "1986," about father and son bonding over baseball and a cursed team, and "Playboy Woods," in which any young teen of the 1980's can relate to in an era before the internet. Recommended for all fans of stand-up comedy and lovers of humor essays.
