The Double Life Is Twice as Good: Essays and Fiction
- Used Book in Good Condition
Wildly original novelist, essayist, and performance artist Jonathan Aames delivers his best collection yetâ€”a hilarious, risquÃ©, and loveable selection of articles, essays, and fiction, including several previously unpublished pieces.With an HBO pilot based on this collectionâ€™s centerpiece (â€œBored to Deathâ€), his two hilarious novels, The Extra Man and Wake Up, Sir!, in development as films (with screenplays by Mr. Ames), a critically acclaimed graphic novel, The Alcoholic, under his belt, and an ongoing series of literary and not-so-literary stunts, Jonathan Ames has proven himself to be a writer of diverse and stunning talents.

In The Double Life Is Twice as Good, fans will be treated to a deft and charming compilation of Amesâ€™s journalism, personal essays, and short fiction. Featuring illuminating profiles of Marilyn Manson and Lenny Kravitz, his adventures at a goth festival in the Midwest, a story written for Esquire on a napkin, as well as a comic strip collaboration with graphic artist Nick Bertozzi, Amesâ€™s unique style and personality-driven humor shines throughout this wickedly funny collection. Also included is the aforementioned short story, â€œBored to Death,â€ a Raymond Chandlerâ€“esque tale about a struggling writer-turned-detective who becomes quickly embroiled in the search for a missing college co-ed. Described by The Portland Oregonian as â€œan edgier David Sedaris,â€ itâ€™s no wonder that this comic mastermindâ€™s already fervent and dedicated fanbase is continually growing.
