Moles On Your Face – your fingertips meeting your face. And I thought: joy is like that. It carries death and wonder under the skin. In the weak struggling sunshine of September I could feel the wanting and delight seep through me. …… – Moles On Your Face

hard time justifying themselves anymore. For example, if you look at how restaurants make their money. No restaurant in this world practically can exist, other than McDonalds, without selling alcohol. It's just a fundamental part of how they stay open is they have to be able to sell beer or wine. And if they don't do it, then you won't have a restaurant in the town. And if you don't have restaurants, well then, you're not going to get the tourists, right? Because tourists are going to go ...

and for inviting me. I was telling her when my publicist sent along the e-mail inviting me to come to Google, I was like, "Oh, my God, I feel like I've made it.” So, some of you probably do too for being able to work here and eat that food every day. When I told friends I was coming, they all said, "Can you eat in the cafeteria?” And I will report back that I did. So, thanks again for having me. I sense from the composition of the audience that cheapness is a topic that resonates more for ...

Authors@Google: Eddie Sarfaty

Posted by: AtGoogleTalks | Comments Comments Off
The Authors@Google program welcomed comedian and author Eddie Sarfaty to Google's New York office to discuss his book, "Mental: Funny in the Head". "Eddie Sarfaty's astute and acerbic stand-up effortlessly captures the everyday absurdities of life, blending self-deprecation and sarcasm with a razor-sharp instinct for the ridiculous. In Mental, he expands his hilarious insights into a collection of autobiographical essays that explore career lows, cheapskate exes, the wonder and hell of family, psychopathic felines, and so much more... Whether recounting a family trip to Paris, where his ailing father shouts obscenities at the Mona Lisa, or discovering his mother surfing JewHunt.net in search of a mahjong à trois, Eddie excels at bitingly, but lovingly, mocking his family. Spotlighting his own misadventures with equal relish, Eddie recounts his darkly funny experience stage managing an ill-fated Portuguese production of The Phantom of the Opera, reveals taking Ecstasy before lunch with Hillary Clinton, and recalls a one-night stand whose fondness for balloon animals would have animal activists up in arms." This event took place on September 2, 2009.
