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

The (Latest) Dope

As of early summer, the paperback of (Not that You Asked) will be out. Here's what the critic dudes had to say:

"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
"If truth is beauty, as posited by John Keats, then Almond's first collection of essays is the smokin'est hottie on the block." — The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
