Zombie Spaceship Wasteland
Oswalt's genre-hopping debut of essays, parodies, and lists, built around his theory that every teenage misfit escapes into a zombie, spaceship, or wasteland.
Oswalt’s first book is a genre-defying grab bag: personal essays about his misfit youth and early stand-up years, interspersed with parodies, lists, fake greeting cards, and comic riffs. The title names his theory that every teenage outsider is one of three types, escaping into the zombie, the spaceship, or the wasteland. More experimental than a straight memoir, it captures the neurotic, pop-culture-drenched imagination of a comedian who came up worshipping film, comics, and punk.
