John Hodgman-bestselling author,The Daily Show's "Resident Expert," minor television celebrity, and deranged millionaire-brings us the third and final installment in his trilogy of Complete World Knowledge.
In 2005, Dutton publishedThe Areas of My Expertise, a handy little book of Complete World Knowledge, marked by the distinction that all of the fascinating trivia and amazing true facts were completely made up by its author, John Hodgman. At the time, Hodgman was merely a former literary agent and occasional scribbler of fake trivia. In short- a nobody.
But during an interview onThe Daily Showwith Jon Stewart, an incredible transformation occurred. He became a famous minor television personality. You may ask- During his whirlwind tornado ride through the high ether of minor fame and outrageous fortune, did John Hodgman forget how to write books of fake trivia? The answer is- Yes. Briefly. But soon, he remembered!
And so he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the wicked witch of ignorance withMore Information Than You Require, aNew York Timesbestseller containing even more mesmerizing and essential fake trivia, including seven hundred mole-man names (and their occupations).
And now, John Hodgman completes his vision withThat Is All, the last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. Like its predecessors,That Is Allcompiles incredibly handy made-up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes. It picks up exactly whereMore Informationleft off-specifically, at page 596-and finally completes COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE.
Look out for John Hodgman's latest book, Vacationland, available from Viking in Fall 2017.
