NEW FROM THE INTERNET LEGEND TUCKER MAX, COMES I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL, PUBLISHED BY CITADEL PRESS
"Highly entertaining and thoroughly reprehensible."--The New York Times
Tucker Max graduated with high honors from the University of Chicago in 1998 and received an academic scholarship to Duke Law School, where he graduated in 2001. He took these degrees and set out to help the world--by drinking, hooking up, acting like an asshole, and then writing about it. The result, I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL, is a collection of hilarious short stories that chronicle Tucker Max's outlandish exploits.
His true first-person tales of sex, alcohol, and mayhem transport the reader into Tucker's comical, perverse, and oftentimes surreal world. Even though the book is poised to become required reading in every fraternity house and bachelor pad, I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL transcends the usual frat-boy fare. Max's stories display keen intellect, mischievous humor, and the sex appeal of living life on one's own terms. Tucker will admit that many of his antics are completely juvenile and without excuse, but they are acquitted in some sense by the brutal honesty with which he approaches the stories of his life--he spares no one, especially not himself.
I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL took root in the legendary website TuckerMax.com, which started as a bet between Duke Law School buddies in 2002. Since then, it has become one of the most viewed sites on the Internet, boasting more than 25 million unique hits and 200 million page views to date. Tucker has attracted national attention in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Esquire, Playboy, on an MTV special, as well as many other media outlets.
Tucker Max may be a self-proclaimed asshole, but he is a hero to legions of males and an impressively large female audience. I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL is sure to become required reading in all dorms and frat houses, stashed in every young law associate's desk, and hidden in lingerie drawers around the world.
