Publisher Description
They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday
New York Times, and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees. They believe they're unique, yet somehow they're all exactly the same, talking about how they "get" Sarah Silverman's "subversive" comedy and Wes Anderson's "droll" films.
They're also down with diversity and up on all the best microbrews, breakfast spots, foreign cinema, and authentic sushi. They're organic, ironic, and do not own TVs.
You know who they are: They're white people. And they're here, and you're gonna have to deal. Fortunately, here's a book that investigates, explains, and offers advice for finding social success with the Caucasian persuasion. So kick back on your IKEA couch and lose yourself in the ultimate guide to the unbearable whiteness of being.

Fantasic
I was unsure of how good this book would be. Far too many "comedy" titles turn out to be nothing more than a pile of lame jokes and unfunny stories. But my fears were unfounded. From the first chapter through the entire 5 hours, except for the last 20 minute wrap-up, this book was most pleasurable, funny, and at times laugh out loud listen. Mostly though, I would chuckle with acknowledgement at how dead-on the author was in his caricatures of a certain class of people, many of whom I seem to know, and some of whom I admit to being at times. All in all, I highly recommend this book. Five hours of lisening pleasure for this price, can't beat it!
