PRAISE FOR THE CHAPO GUIDE TO REVOLUTION
“I haven’t had my worldview exploded by a political work like this since reading Millie’s Book in 1992.”
—Patton Oswalt, New York Times bestselling author of Silver Screen Fiend
“The raucous dirtbag hilarity of the Chapo crew sometimes masks the fact that they reliably provide some of the most incisive, sophisticated, and thought-provoking political analysis found on any platform. Their book is as intellectually serious and analytically original as it is irreverent and funny, and it deserves substantial discussion and all of the gushing and angry reactions it will inevitably provoke.”
—Glenn Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author of No Place to Hide
“In my day, it didn’t take fifteen goddamn people to write a book. Nevertheless, this was an exceptional, funny, and entertaining read. Howard Zinn on acid or some bullshit like that.”
—Tim Heidecker, coauthor of Tim and Eric’s Zone Theory
“Garrote sharp, acerbic, smart, inventive, and truly laugh-out-loud funny, The Chapo Guide to Revolution feels like it was written by the offspring of the shotgun marriage of The Onion, Howard Zinn, Dorothy Parker, Bill Hicks, Noam Chomsky, and Jonathan Swift. If they all got together and fucked and had one baby, I mean. I LOVED this book.”
—David Cross, New York Times bestselling author of I Drink for a Reason
“Perhaps in Victorian England a spoonful of sugar helped the medicine go down, but in the hellscape of contemporary American politics, the Chapo Trap House crew does well to swap out sweetener and deliver its punchy political analysis with a big dose of snark, wit, and lolz. Lovers of the podcast will revel in righteous takedowns and scathing portraits of galling political self-interest, while newcomers to the brand and veterans alike will enjoy the frank and funny introduction to the contemptible political players, online feuds, Marxist themes, and partisan blood-letting that are the grist of the Chapo podcast, and which have made it a site of catharsis for an entire doomed generation.”
—Briahna Joy Gray, senior politics editor at The Intercept
“Finally a book that explains why I shouldn’t like Matt Yglesias. And so many others. All the monsters we encounter online have been laid out and torn asunder in spectacular fashion. This book is like those fleeting moments of the Chapo Trap House podcast that have clarity.”
—Dave Anthony, coauthor of The United States of Absurdity
