Best Selling Books by Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan never imagined he would have his own kids. Though he grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family, Jim was satisfied with the nomadic, nocturnal life of a standup comedian, and was content to be "that weird uncle who lives in an apartment by himself in New York that everyone in the family speculates about." But all that changed when he married and found out his wife, Jeannie "is someone who gets pregnant looking at babies." Five kids later, the comedian whose riffs on everything from Hot Pockets to Jesus have scored millions of hits on YouTube, started to tweet about the mistakes and victories of his life as a dad. Those tweets struck such a chord that he soon passed the million followers mark. But it turns out 140 characters are not enough to express all the joys and horrors of life with five kids, so he''s now sharing it all in Dad Is Fat. From new parents to empty nesters to Jim''s twenty-something fans, everyone will recognize their own families in these hilarious takes on everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to growing up in a big family ("I always assumed my father had six children so he could have a sufficient lawn crew") to changing diapers in the middle of the night ("like The Hurt Locker but much more dangerous") to bedtime (aka "Negotiating with Terrorists"). Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his wife are outnumbered in their own home.

¿Alguna vez te has leído un libro que te haya cambiado la vida? Bueno, Jim Gaffigan tampoco. Podría ser porque Jim Gaffigan es muy perezoso y además tiene mala vista o porque tiene cinco hijos pequeños y vive en un apartamento de dos habitaciones en el centro de Nueva York. Jim es como cualquiera: una persona muy ocupada, muy centrado en sí mismo y va agotado por la vida. La única diferencia, quizá, es que Jim Gaffigan es humorista profesional y muy, muy guapo. Lleno de agudas observaciones y de un humor explosivo, Papá está gordo es el homenaje de Jim a su vida rodeado de su familia, con todas sus alegrías y también con sus horrores. A la vez, es una petición de ayuda de un padre que se ha dado cuenta de que él y su mujer se han convertido en minoría en su propio hogar. "Divertidísimo... te hará estallar en carcajadas. Es uno de los retratos más sinceros y atractivos sobre la paternidad compuesto por un humorista de nuestros días". - Publishers Weekly "Una mirada honesta a la realidad de lo que supone ser padres y al buen humor que sustenta todo. Pero más divertido aún". - Babble.com Visita su web jimgaffigan.com o síguele en Twitter @JimGaffigan

Jim Gaffigan konnte es sich nie vorstellen, selbst einmal Kinder zu haben. Obwohl er in einer großen irisch-katholischen Familie aufgewachsen ist und fünf Geschwister hat, zog er es vor, das nomadische und vor allem nachtaktive Leben eines Comedians zu führen – und war damit äußerst zufrieden. All dies änderte sich, als er heiratete und herausfand, dass seine Frau Jeannie eine Person ist, »die allein vom Anschauen schwanger wird«. Fünf Kinder später fing der Comedian, dessen Videos auf YouTube Millionen Mal angeklickt wurden, an, über seine Fehler und Triumphe bei der Kindererziehung zu tweeten. Diese Tweets trafen offensichtlich einen Nerv: Innerhalb kürzester Zeit hatte er mehr als 1 Million Follower auf Twitter. Doch bald kristallisierte sich heraus, dass 140 Zeichen nicht genug sind, um alle Freuden und Schrecken eines Lebens mit fünf Kindern zum Ausdruck zu bringen, daher schrieb er Schlafenszeit oder Verhandeln mit Terroristen. Von jungen Eltern bis zu denen, deren Kinder bereits ausgezogen sind – alle werden sich und ihre Familien wiedererkennen. Ein wunderbares Buch, das nur ein wenig wie ein Hilfeschrei eines Mannes klingt, der erkannt hat, dass er und seine Frau in ihrem eigenen Zuhause in der Minderzahl sind.

Ci sono amori travolgenti, immortali. Quello per il cibo, ad esempio. Chi mangia non ama solo con il cuore, ma anche con la testa, gli occhi e lo stomaco. In questo campo, Jim Gaffigan è il più grande amatore del mondo: ingurgita di tutto di giorno e di notte, quando è triste perché è triste, quando è felice perché è felice. Talvolta anche in compagnia di sua moglie Jeannie e dei suoi cinque figli, che adora come fossero ciambelle. Se anche voi amate la tavola e ridere, qui c’è pane per i vostri denti: “Il cibo secondo jim” è il più irriverente, divertente e caustico libro sul cibo mai scritto.
