About the Author

Doug Stanhope is a veteran of over twenty-five years of stand-up comedy, successfully dodging mainstream fame by using his uncompromising brand of stand-up to build a cult-like following around the world. Described by the New York Times as "an acidic blend of prickly hostility, elaborately mostrar mais articulated self-loathing, and righteous anger" and who Ricky Gervais says "might be the most important stand-up working today," Stanhope resides in the US border town of Bisbee, Arizona, with pets who have people names, in an absurd relationship with his galpal Bingo. mostrar menos

How do you navigate the unchartered waters of assisted suicide when it is your own mother who wants to die? Stanhope compares this "adventure" of killing his mother to planning a wedding: at least you know where to start. First, take mother to your house. Second, find a boatload of alcohol...
But Digging Up Mother isn't all about Dear Mommy Dearest. Think of it as a fast-paced memoir of how Stanhope got his start in life. But. But! But, also think of it as a love story. His mother was his biggest fan, and for many years, his best friend. She supported him through every moment of his life, whether he wanted that support or not. I think I can safely call Digging Up Mother crude and caring and, dare I say? beautiful.
P.S. I hope Bingo is well.
