How to Dodge Flying Sandals -...

Daniel Nour

If you've ever had someone try to arrange a marriage for you … 
 
If you have so many cousins you can't remember all their names … 
 
If your parents only show love through food and unsolicited advice … 
 
If your 'roommate' has been around for five years and your family still think it's just a great friendship … 
 
Then this book is for you. 
 
And if you've never experienced any of this? Well, aren't you just a little curious? 
 
 
Meet Daniel Nour: Egyptian and Australian; loud and painfully awkward; conservative and very confused (especially about other boys). He's never quite pulled off normal, but 'not-normal' is where the best stories are. Now he's made his peace with that and is ready to share his wisdom. Told as a series of snapshots from Daniel's life – from 'How to Be Born' to 'How to Die' and everything in between – this is a sharply funny tale of culture, family and trying, but not always managing, to come of age. 
 
 
At turns wildly absurd, sharply insightful and disarmingly heartfelt, How to Dodge Flying Sandals and Other Advice for Life is a fresh take on growing up in Australia.

Mel Brooks - Disobedient Jew

Jeremy Dauber

A spirited dive into the life and career of a performer, writer, and director who dominated twentieth-century American comedy 
 
 
  
Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, is one of the great comic voices of the twentieth century. Having won almost every entertainment award there is, Brooks has straddled the line between outsider and insider, obedient and rebellious, throughout his career, making out-of-bounds comedy the American mainstream. 
 
 
  
Jeremy Dauber argues that throughout Brooks's extensive body of work—from Your Show of Shows to Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein to Spaceballs—the comedian has seen the most success when he found a balance between his unflagging, subversive, manic energy and the constraints imposed by comedic partners, the Hollywood system, and American cultural mores. Dauber also explores how Brooks's American Jewish humor went from being solely for niche audiences to an essential part of the American mainstream, paving the way for generations of Jewish (and other) comedians to come.
