Camels Are Easy, Comedy's Hard

ebook
An eclectic collection from Roy Blount Jr., master of American humor writing
I’ll tell you what kind of book I believe in: one that makes people say, at first sight, what the first person who ever saw a camel must have said: “
What in the world is that?” And then, after a while, “Yet it seems to fit together some way.”
In this laugh-a-minute assortment of essays, travel writing, poems, and even the occasional crossword puzzle, Roy Blount Jr. covers sixty-four different subjects, all unified by his trademark humor. “Tan” is a personal essay about Blount’s lifelong battle with—sometimes for and sometimes against—that elusive summer glow. “Wild Fish Ripped My Flesh” chronicles his misadventures navigating the Amazon River. And “Lit Demystified Quickly” is a tongue-in-cheek poem about larger-than-life literary figures such as James Joyce, William Faulkner, and Walt Whitman.
Camels Are Easy, Comedy’s Hard 
is a classic compendium of the wisecracks and wisdom for which Blount is renowned.
