Zombie Spaceship Wasteland: A Book by Patton Oswalt

Zombie Spaceship Wasteland: A Book by Patton Oswalt

Now in paperback, from a â€œmulti-faceted, medium-hopping, culture skewering performerâ€ (SPIN), this is a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, best known for his roles in film (Big Fan and Ratatouille) and television (The King of Queens and The United States of Tara), but also beloved for his ascerbic, highly eloquent, and wildly funny standup comedy.

Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertainÂment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films Big Fan and Ratatouille, as well as the television hit The King of Queens, Patton Oswaltâ€”a staple of Comedy Centralâ€”has been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape.

Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He rememÂbers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, includÂing a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then thereâ€™s the bookâ€™s centerpiece, which posits that before all young creative minds have anything to write about, they will home in on one of three story lines: zomÂbies, spaceships, or wastelands.

Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our societyâ€™s wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswaltâ€™s wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining â€œwasteland.â€
