In the manner of a modern-day Mark Twain, this part mystery, part social commentary, part ‘loosely autobiographical’ memoir uses humor and sharp wit to share a helpful message with its fellow citizens: Let’s dust off and figure this out, people!No group, celebrity, or political figure, however powerful, is immune from the author’s irreverent, often hilarious and subtly illuminating commentary. For anyone dismayed by where our nation appears to be headed, and frustrated by the barrage of half-truths and lies hurled at us day after day by elected officials, #NotUs is the antidote that entertains and enriches: battered and bruised, readers from the far left to ultra-right and everything in between will be begging for more.If you need more convincing, here are endorsements from some of the leading minds of our time:“America’s new outrage culture. White as a four-letter word. Found memory. NFL kneeling protests. Boys wearing dresses. Women as abusers…. He gives all these topics and more a refreshing new perspective. We’re addicted: we’ll eat anything he dishes out!” —Teena Fey and Amee Poehler“An absolute treat. Don’t sleep on this, you’ll be sorry if you do!” —Jerzy Seinfeld“I know I’m not the only one who’s gone into hiding over our current sociopolitical landscape. Households where friction is higher than ever, televisions sets and social media platforms where yelling and talking over one another is now the norm… the author makes the point that we can and must do better, then shows us how. This book is giving me the courage to reengage.
