Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In the early twenty-first century, a series of absurd and controversial essays under the title Lou Bega Called He Wants His Fedora Back were written by up-and-coming authors Wes Van Horn and Duncan Gorgonzola. While the publishers considered this collection an edgy and promising start for the two young authors, their work was met with universal vitriol. The New York Times reviewed, "Sophomoric. It's either the worst satire I've ever seen or extremely problematic. Maybe both. Made me want to throw myself out of this window into the busy traffic of the New York Streets below." The New York Post shared a similar sentiment in their review, "Tangential, over reliant on pop culture references, and needlessly offensive, but not in a fun way like famous New York comedians Andrew Dice Clay and Ricky Gervais. Wish these two author guys would both choke on a slice of an all-beef frank - hey, only in New York!" One of the few lukewarm reviews came from the New York Tribune, stating "A decent book to keep by the toilet - hey watch it bub, I'm walking here! *sounds of car horns honking and angry cabbies eating street meat*"After the absolute commercial flop and violently negative reactions, their contract was not renewed by the publisher and printing was brought to a halt. To make matters worse, both authors were brutally murdered to death by disgruntled readers. While they weren't around to see the fruits of their labor ripen, in the years following their tragic deaths, The Bega Boys developed a small but loyal cult following. New audiences seemed to appreciate the raw absurdity of the collection of essays. Now after nearly ten years, the time is right to reappraise their contributions to literature. Their first and final work, known as Lou Bega Called He Wants His Fedora Back has been reprinted for a new age of readers. This item is printed on demand.
