Darkly humorous, usually sarcastic, and always profane and offensive, Interviews with Dead Celebrities tears apart the pillars upon which we place celebrities, politicians, and entertainers with sharp social commentary in the form of interviews that are relentless in their pursuit of the raw, honest, (albeit completely fictional) truth.
Written by humorist and comedian Adam Avitable, this book asks the questions you've always wanted to know. Why did Whitney Houston throw away her good will for drugs? Did Osama bin Laden really hate America? Can Steve Jobs tell a joke? Does Joe Paterno care about children? Would John Hughes have written a sequel to Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
With over fifty posthumous interviews written entirely by Avitable, Interviews with Dead Celebrities will make you laugh, make you gasp, and may make you write him an angry letter telling him that he's evil for making you laugh.
Read interviews with the following celebrities and public figures: Peter Graves, Lucille Ball, Adolf Hitler, Phil Hartman, Ed McMahon, Zelda Rubinstein, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sherman Hemsley, Jack Kevorkian, Barbara Billingsley, Corey Haim, Helen Keller, Leonard Stern, Osama bin Laden, Anna Nicole Smith, Gary Coleman, Heath Ledger, Patrick Swayze, Aaliyah, Tony Curtis, Greg Giraldo, Leslie Nielsen, Billy Mays, Brittany Murphy, George Carlin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bob Guccione, Amy Winehouse, Roy Scheider, Dick Clark, Mark Twain, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Novak, John Lennon, John Hughes, Amelia Earhart, Dennis Hopper, Michael Jackson, Oral Roberts, Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Jack LaLanne, Kim Jong Il, Whitney Houston, Andy Rooney, Ted Kennedy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Joe Paterno, Nora Ephron, JD Salinger, Ray Bradbury, Princess Diana, and Steve Jobs.
Adam Avitable is a blogger who has been writing at Avitable.com for thirteen years. He is a lawyer, a stand-up comedian, and a sucker for redheads. He loves bacon and chocolate but would give those up in a heartbeat just to make the world laugh until it collectively peed itself.
Adam Heath Avitable (1977-) is a comedian and a humorist from the Orlando area. He has been writing online since 1999 at Avitable.com and performing stand-up comedy since 2011.
His writing has been honored by the blogging community on multiple occasions and he has spoken and lectured on writing and humor throughout the United States. He was voted one of 2010's hottest bloggers and subsequently appeared in the 2010 Hot Blogger Calendar. He'll probably keep telling people that until he's dead.
Adam is also a lawyer who has never practiced law, but this doesn't stop him from providing completely erroneous and unsolicited legal advice to anyone within earshot. He got his Juris Doctorate from Washington University in Saint Louis and it's only slightly more useful than his Bachelor of Arts in East Asian Studies from Washington and Lee University, which he uses to try to seduce cute Japanese girls visiting Orlando. Unsuccessfully.
There are only three things guaranteed in life. You will be required to pay taxes, at some point you will die, but before that you will laugh your ass off at this book filled with posthumous humor!
While you may see other reviews citing this book as irreverent, or funny, or even on the cutting edge of after world journalism, I'd prefer to highlight it as an easy read, consumable in small bites if needbe or big bites if desired, while maintaining its laugh out loud potency the entire way through.
After I told Adam Avitable that I had bought his book, he said I should go review it and that, if I did, he'd interview me. Which I can only assume means that Adam Avitable wants me dead. And after I spent $3 on his book! He has a lot of nerve.
I have no idea how he gets all these interviews with famous dead people. I mean, I can assume that some dead people like Gary Coleman have agents for that sort of thing, but Hitler came way before agents. And Osama bin Laden? The guy was notoriously hard to get ahold of. I guess Adam has some sort of special underworld connections or something.
Anyway, it's pretty funny, until it gets offensive, which is like all Adam's humor, come to think of it. His humor is kind of like that salsa where you know it is going to burn you, but you keep eating it anyway because you have some sort of weird thing in your brain that keeps making you keep doing something even after you should have learned your lesson.
True story: I tried to give this thing five stars but Amazon would only let me select four. I suppose Avitable is on some kind of special star probation.
