A Memoir Of Avoidance: "Will Not Attend"

Plume Books

Adam Resnick may not actually like people (he tells us he does).

But he certainly knows how to make people laugh; he did so for years as a writer for David Letterman's TV show.  

Resnick gives us a memoir in essays in his book "Will Not Attend;" it turns out he's hated parties since an Easter egg hunt went awry in his childhood.  

This and other stories get a full airing in our interview.
