How to Be Inappropiate
Daniel Nester
In this essay collection from Soft Skull Press, Nester tries very hard to show that he is, indeed, living up to the title. He devotes an entire chapter to mooning, including a list of synonyms for the act (such as “inverted fruit cup”), and one to farting. But the real fun lies in his take on things such as ApologetiX, a Christian rock parody band, and a fascinating profile of a professional videogamer. We’ll take Nester’s popculture meanderings over his attempts at frat-boy humor any day.
