Publisher Description: <b>Prepare yourself for a journey through the world of Patton Oswalt, </b>one of the most creative, insightful, and hysterical voices on the entertain-ment scene today. Widely known for his roles in the films <i>Big Fan </i>and <i>Ratatouille, </i>as well as the television hit <i>The King of Queens, </i>Patton Oswalt--a staple of Comedy Central--has been amusing audiences for decades. Now, with <i>Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, </i>he offers a fascinating look into his most unusual, and lovable, mindscape. <p/>Oswalt combines memoir with uproarious humor, from snow forts to Dungeons & Dragons to gifts from Grandma that had to be explained. He remem-bers his teen summers spent working in a movie Cineplex and his early years doing stand-up. Readers are also treated to several graphic elements, includ-ing a vampire tale for the rest of us and some greeting cards with a special touch. Then there's the book'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: zom-bies, spaceships, or wastelands. <p/>Oswalt chose wastelands, and ever since he has been mining our society's wasteland for perversion and excess, pop culture and fatty foods, indie rock and single-malt scotch. <i>Zombie Spaceship Wasteland </i>is an inventive account of the evolution of Patton Oswalt's wildly insightful worldview, sure to indulge his legion of fans and lure many new admirers to his very entertaining "wasteland."
