    About this ebook

    I Shudder is a side-splittingly funny collection of essays from Paul Rudnick, one of America’s preeminent humorists. Rudnick, who writes for The New Yorker and has written the screenplays for the films In and Out, Sister Act, and Addams Family Values, shares his hilarious observations on life in New York City and New Jersey, the perils of show business, and dealing with one’s family, however crazy they may be. As David Sedaris says, “There’s no book wiser or half as funny as I Shudder.”

      Very funny, packed with zingers (which I forget ten seconds after reading). The first few chapter about his family is the weakest. Odd that he would put it first. Fortunately, I kept reading.

      I absolutely adored Rudnick's novel I'll Take It and this book of essays interspersed with the "diary" of Elyot Vionnet was pretty good, too. There are stories about showbiz (what really happened in I Hate Hamlet, working on Sister Act, producer Allan Carr), New York (apartments, the Chelsea Hotel) and topics also covered in I'll Take It (Jewish families, junk food diet). What's not to like?
