A Fistful of Fig Newtons

A Fistful of Fig Newtons

From the wild and wacky world of favorite funnyman Jean Shepherd, a dozen truer-than-life tales of tailgating on the Jersey Tumpike, infuriating infants, and other everyday catastrophes, defeats, and humiliations that are the familiar fate of Americans everywhere.

Jean Shepherd was one of Americaâ€™s favorite humorists, his most notable achievement being the creation of the indefatigable Ralphie Parker and his quest for a BB gun in the holiday classic A Christmas Story. But he was so much more, a comic Garrison Keillorâ€“like figure whose unique voice transcended the airwaves and affected a whole generation of nostalgic Americans. A Fistful of Fig Newtons is classic Jean Shepherdâ€”sidesplittingly funny and sardonically irreverent. It is a brilliant comic assessment of American lifeâ€”all of them delivered in Jean Shepherdâ€™s witty, classy, unforgettable style.
