The Book of Extremely Common Prayer - Softcover

Nathaniel Whitten is the co-author of SECRETS OF THE SUPEROPTIMIST, which Rolling Stone called 'Hilarious' and The Huffington Post hailed as 'Highly amusing. Secrets we can actually use.' He's also the author of THE DO IT YOURSELF CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT KIT, which Publishers Weekly deemed 'Charming...edgy...like an episode of The Daily Show crossed with an issue of Mother Jones,' as well as the underground sensation EASY AIR GUITAR, VOLUME ONE 'The definitive guide,' according to The Wall Street Journal.

A humorist with an ear for social commentary uses the language of prayer to highlight the absurdity of the modern world. What lingers about the book, however, isn t the comedy. Through the course of the prayers, a character begins to develop that turns out to be much more than just witty. By smashing together the language of prayer and observational humor, Whitten is able to reveal the cracks and contradictions in modern life that tickle us as much as they trouble us. To his credit, the book spends as much time scanning the zeitgeist as delivering punch lines. --Kirkus Reviews
