ABOUT CASH GRAB: Buddy Buppsen dreamed of working in television ever since he was a kid glued to the game shows on his foster parents’ TV, but now, with a college degree of questionable value in hand, Buddy discovers that a dream job is still just that—a job. Part absurdist satire of the entertainment industry, part slacker’s response to Atlas Shrugged, this debut comic novel by Andy Spain (McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Weekly Humorist, Points in Case) explores the nature of selling out, common decency, and dystopian workplace woes.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Andy Spain is a video editor and motion graphics designer living in Durham, NC with his wife and four kids. His work has appeared in Weekly Humorist, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Points in Case, and Robot Butt, among others. Cash Grab is his debut novel.

ABOUT THE HOST: Andy Newton is editor of Humorist Books. He is the co-author of From the Campaign Trail or Thereabouts. His second novel, The Carlyles, is forthcoming. He lives in Boston, MA with his wife and two kittens.

Humorist Books is an imprint of comedy website Weekly Humorist, part of Humorist Media.
