Daniel Nester to Read December 3rd

Come get inappropriate.

Thursday.

7:30 post meridiem.

102 Chambers.

Red Weather.

The Red Weather Reading Series presents a great friend of the M.F.A. program, super writer, snappy dresser, and reasonably nice guy, DANIEL NESTER, this Thursday at 7:30 P.M. in 102 Chambers. He will be reading from his new collection of nonfiction essays, How to be Inappropriate, just out from Soft Skull Press (which, coincidentally, is also populated by snappy dressers and reasonably nice guys and gals).

Praise for the new effort:

A "deeply funny new collection of booger-flecked nonfiction... While all of these lowbrow reflections are amusing, it's when Nester is semiserious that he’s at his best....As a whole, How to Be Inappropriate reads like a coming-of-age tale in which adulthood arrives with a refreshingly juvenile mind-set." --Time Out New York

"His stories are, as the title suggests, inappropriate, and they often engender squeamishness, discomfort, and laughter. But they are fresh and, at times, touching, qualities that make this an enjoyable read...Recommended for readers who enjoy memoirs and essays." --Library Journal

"If there was Nobel Prize for Achievement in Inappropriateness, Daniel Nester would be Laureate of the Universe. Until then, he'll have settle for having written this shockingly innovative stunner of a book. Nester brings his irreverent, elegiac sensibilty to subjects ranging from the essence of literary truth to the enduring mystery of flatulence, managing in the bargain to highlight the bleak hilarity of human existence—which, when you think about it, is the most inappropriate thing of all."—Rachel Shukert, author of Have You No Shame?
