Lost in love and don't know much?
Paul Feig knew even less...
Like any other red-blooded, straight young man, Paul Feig
spent much of his teenage years trying to solve the mystery
of women. Unlike most red-blooded, straight teenage boys,
however, Paul Feig was sadly at a considerable disadvantage.
He was tall and gangly. He had a love for musical theater.
And, perhaps the death knell for his burgeoning sex life,
Paul was a tap dance student. (And we have the pictures to
prove it—see the front cover.)
Infused with the same witty and infectiously readable style
of his first book, Kick Me, Superstud chronicles
the trials and tribulations of Feig’s young dating life
with all the same excruciating detail as an on-air gastric
bypass—and you just won’t be able to tear yourself
away. Feig’s series of shudder-to-think but oddly familiar
(come on—we’ve all been dumped by someone we didn’t
even like that much) anecdotes include: his first date, at
an REO Speedwagon concert with the most endowed girl in school,
who leaves him sitting next to a puddle of puke; his first
breakup, accomplished by moving across the country; his mortifying
date with his secretly bigoted girlfriend; his discovery of
a new self-love technique that almost lands him in the hospital;
and his less-than-idealistic “first time,” which
he nevertheless elevates to biblical proportions.
In Superstud, Paul Feig tells all in a hilarious but
true testament to geekdom, love, and growing up.
Paul Feig is the two-time Emmy-nominated
creator of Freaks and Geeks, the author of Kick
Me: Adventures in Adolescence, the director of episodes
of Arrested Development, and the writer and director
of the feature film I Am David. He lives in Los Angeles
with his wife.
