More Stories To Tell: A Lawyer Turned Comedian Puts Everyday Life On Trial

Paul D'Angelo is a former Boston-area assistant district attorney and criminal-defense trial attorney who, at the same time, became one of the nation's top stand-up comedians. In the follow-up to his critically acclaimed literary debut, Stories I Tell: A Comic's Random Attempts to Make Some Sense Out of Nonsense, which Kirkus Reviews said, "Supplies lots of laughs in its observances of the everyday," Paul presents More Stories to Tell: A Lawyer Turned Comedian Puts Everyday Life on Trial. This second book adds to the eclectic assortment of hilarious personal stories, dialogues, and comedy routines that Paul seldom, if ever, gets a chance to present on stage. D'Angelo deftly blends fact, fiction, exaggeration, and imagination to sarcastically critique modern society, relate humorous stories from his days working as both a lawyer and a comic, recount awkward moments from his upbringing and personal relationships, and intelligently vent on various social issues that drive us all crazy. Paul tackles subjects as diverse as imagining life growing-up as a prehistoric caveman; recommending the need to issue inspection stickers for people; get-ting jealous over a dead man; sympathizing with pragmatic Kamikaze pilots; teaching a young son about the facts of life with the help of a videogame; re-calling a rather uncomfortable airplane flight after vacationing in Mexico; and calling himself on the phone to ask for money, in a quick paced, engaging manner that everyone can connect with. The book also features sidesplitting excerpts from his L.A. Miserables series of diaries that Paul wrote while trying to break into the entertainment business in Hollywood."
