New Releases by Jim Gaffigan

"In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who''s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald''s, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children--everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers'' communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four year olds ("there is no difference between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor"). Reminiscent of Bill Cosby''s Fatherhood, Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home"--

¿Alguna vez te has leído un libro que te haya cambiado la vida? Bueno, Jim Gaffigan tampoco. Podría ser porque Jim Gaffigan es muy perezoso y además tiene mala vista o porque tiene cinco hijos pequeños y vive en un apartamento de dos habitaciones en el centro de Nueva York. Jim es como cualquiera: una persona muy ocupada, muy centrado en sí mismo y va agotado por la vida. La única diferencia, quizá, es que Jim Gaffigan es humorista profesional y muy, muy guapo. Lleno de agudas observaciones y de un humor explosivo, Papá está gordo es el homenaje de Jim a su vida rodeado de su familia, con todas sus alegrías y también con sus horrores. A la vez, es una petición de ayuda de un padre que se ha dado cuenta de que él y su mujer se han convertido en minoría en su propio hogar. "Divertidísimo... te hará estallar en carcajadas. Es uno de los retratos más sinceros y atractivos sobre la paternidad compuesto por un humorista de nuestros días". - Publishers Weekly "Una mirada honesta a la realidad de lo que supone ser padres y al buen humor que sustenta todo. Pero más divertido aún". - Babble.com Visita su web jimgaffigan.com o síguele en Twitter @JimGaffigan

Ci sono amori travolgenti, immortali. Quello per il cibo, ad esempio. Chi mangia non ama solo con il cuore, ma anche con la testa, gli occhi e lo stomaco. In questo campo, Jim Gaffigan è il più grande amatore del mondo: ingurgita di tutto di giorno e di notte, quando è triste perché è triste, quando è felice perché è felice. Talvolta anche in compagnia di sua moglie Jeannie e dei suoi cinque figli, che adora come fossero ciambelle. Se anche voi amate la tavola e ridere, qui c’è pane per i vostri denti: “Il cibo secondo jim” è il più irriverente, divertente e caustico libro sul cibo mai scritto.
