The stand-up comic offers “a funny yet poignant portrait of his world” from coming out to career misadventures and his endearingly ridiculous family (Kirkus Reviews).

From Comedy Central’s Premium Blend to clubs and colleges around the country, stand-up comedian Eddie Sarfaty captures the absurdities of everyday life with a razor-sharp instinct for the ridiculous. He brings the same astute and acerbic wit to his memoir Mental, exploring his own life from cheapskate exes to psychopathic felines, and so much more . . .

Eddie offers a mocking tribute to his family, with the tale of coming out to his elderly Jewish grandmother, recounting a trip to Paris where his ailing father shouts obscenities at the Mona Lisa, and remembering the time he discovered his mother surfing JewHunt.net in search of a mahjong à trois.

Spotlighting his own misadventures with equal relish, Eddie tells of his escapades with an ill-fated Portuguese production of The Phantom of the Opera, reveals taking Ecstasy before lunch with Hillary Clinton, and recalls a one-night stand whose fondness for balloon animals would have animal activists up in arms.

Mental made me laugh out loud on the subway, eliciting glares from strangers. Read it in public if you don’t mind drawing attention to yourself, read it in private if you do mind, but read it.” —Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Hours
