Book Reviews of Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Book Review: Bogosian keeps impressing me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been into Eric Bogosian's stuff since Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll. I have never seen him live, but I love reading his stuff. I had a CD of SDARNR...
Anyway, Wake Up And Smell the Coffee is so good I had to give him a shout out here. I was just rereading it for more than the 3rd time now. It still get's me.
If you haven't read any Bogosian try him. I get the feeling he is one of those guys you either love or hate. I tend to love. I only wish he was more prolific. That said, this is another nice addition to his work. I would say he is getting sharper. The bits are a little shorter. They cut to the point real quick though. He writes in a way that sounds like people talk and he doesn't hold back. Bogosian will talk about the same stuff I read about in the papers, and it seems like he is the only one who is saying what people are really thinking.
For example, here is a quote from 'Faith', he's talking about Rwanda and human nature:
'I'll pick up a feumr, keep it on my mante-piece to remind me of human nature.'
Definitely not the Chamber of Commerce, Oprah outlook here.
Keep up the good work Eric!
To sum up, read this book.
Summary of Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
Bogosian's newest solo show, his first since 1993, was a sold out hit in its recent New York City run. Wake Up is Bogosian's meditation on making it to the top of the ladder, on falling off the ladder and on the exhilarating thrill of the ultimate crash and burn. "Bogosian hasn't simply crossed the line of good taste, he has snorted it."-The Daily TexanGeneral Books
