Humorist Josh Muggins Returns with "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men"
Humorist Josh Muggins’s third book blends history, pop culture, essays into a droll examination of male gutlessness, past and present.
Minneapolis, MN, February 07, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Josh Muggins, who caused something of a stir with his 2005 memoir "How to Pick up Japanese Chicks and Doom Your Immortal Soul," is now unleashing upon an unsuspecting public his latest opus, "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men."
A droll assortment of biographical sketches (aka “Profiles in Wussitude”), reviews of sex toys for timid men, essays, and anecdotes, "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men" scrutinizes male gutlessness from every imaginable angle. Such exemplary dastards from history and legend as the biblical Isaac (a willing if sulky accessory to his own sacrifice), corpse-loving weirdo Henry David Thoreau, and compulsive wine-diluter Thomas Jefferson are lovingly skewered in the process.
Muggins touches on many of the aspects of modern life that terrify the spineless—demanding bosses, cordial streetwalkers, airport security, airports, air—while offering no hope whatsoever of redemption. He also recounts such wussilicious misadventures from his own life as his difficulty disposing of the worn-out corpse of his human-face-having fellatio simulator (burnable? plastic? organic?) and his pathetic efforts to convince the three fetching college students who have taken him on a cross-country camping trip that he is not, as they insist, “harmless.”
How do wussies face death? How do they face sex workers, or Starbucks baristas? Such questions as these are addressed in "Wussie: In Praise of Spineless Men," now on sale only via Amazon’s Kindle store.
