About this book

John Hodgman's memoir considers the awkward overlap between public recognition and ordinary family life. The opening finds him in a coastal Maine town, arguing about a malfunctioning car just as admirers approach. His comic account uses an uncomfortable encounter to explore the gap between a familiar television presence and the person behind it.
