This is the story of Joshua, a young man who''s uncertain about, well, his whole life. He is having a hard time finding his way in the world; deciding on a career and keeping a girlfriend are too much to handle, not to mention the fact that after the death of his mother he has moved back into his childhood suburban home to be with his father, Chick. Oh, and then there''s the arrival of the Moschiach (inventor of the infamous Love Lotion) to further complicate things. Lenny Bruce Is Dead walks a tightrope between being searingly funny and poignant - you''ll laugh, you''ll cry, you''ll long for Love Lotion (and a Moschiach of your own). And you won''t forget Josh - ineptitude, scatological neuroses, urban angst, self-deprecating humour and all. The new edition of this classic Canadian novel features a new cover and a foreword by This American Life host Ira Glass.
