Tales of Young Urban Failure [Hardcover]

Erik Moe (Author)

Book Description

August 1, 1996
Somewhat autobiographical, The Moe Chronicles presents with hilarious and terrifying accuracy, the extraordinary pathos of Erik Moe's generation: the couch-ridden, microbrew-swilling, Love Boat-watching masses. At last, here is a book that speaks to the unemployed--and unwillingly employed--youth of today, as well as to anyone who has gone for 237 days without a date or launched an ill-conceived plan to form a rock band. 140 illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars May be the funniest book I've ever read, October 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of Young Urban Failure (Hardcover)
A friend and I stumbled across this book in a Barnes & Noble three years ago, and though we opened our copies to different pages, we both started laughing so hard we were doubled over, and we couldn't get to the cash register fast enough. I let people borrow my copy occasionally, but only for short times and after extracting a promise to care for it. Erik Moe captures *everything* about the awkwardness of transitioning from kid to adult in your 20s, watching your friends get married, being stuck in the lame dues-paying job with jerk coworkers, struggling to become a grownup while still enjoying the things you loved in college. I can't do this book justice with mere words. Find yourself a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars All hail the Moe-God!, September 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of Young Urban Failure (Hardcover)
Woo-hoo! Go you crazy Moe! You rocking, sleazing, bad-copywriter-drawing, carnivorous creative director dream-having crazy piece of wordboy. You're an inspiration, Moe, to anyone who ever got laid off from an ad agency, watched bad TV with his pixel-monkey, went without for more days than any man should and really truly believes three chords and a Mexican-built Stratocaster makes for an instant ticket to Credville. Why'd they stop printing your book Moe? Why? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book Rocks, December 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales of Young Urban Failure (Hardcover)
Witty and urbane, this book is a must for anyone stuggling to fit in in today's complex career world. Moe shares his hopes and fears in a funny, down-to-earth way. Moe proves that you must be careful what you wish for, once you get it, it may not be all that it seemed. If only the publisher would have gieven this book a chance, Moe would be the toat of the town. Next time, publisher, book Moe on Howard Stern.
