From the wild and wacky world of favorite funnyman Jean Shepherd, a dozen truer-than-life tales of tailgating on the Jersey Tumpike, infuriating infants, and other everyday catastrophes, defeats, and humiliations that are the familiar fate of Americans everywhere.
JeanShepherd was one of America’s favorite humorists, his most notableachievement being the creation of the indefatigable Ralphie Parker andhis quest for a BB gun in the holiday classic A Christmas Story.But he was so much more, a comic Garrison Keillor–like figure whoseunique voice transcended the airwaves and affected a whole generation ofnostalgic Americans. A Fistful of Fig Newtons is classicJean Shepherd—sidesplittingly funny and sardonically irreverent. It is a brilliant comic assessment of American life—all ofthem delivered in Jean Shepherd’s witty, classy, unforgettable style.
