Collection of Niceties: No thank you necessary

Thank You is Implied, a new collection of essays by Andrew Marx, takes on wide-ranging themes from legalizing trips to the bathroom, gambling in third-rate casinos and what it takes to make the list of the sexiest songs ever written! In his own inestimable and entertaining style, Marx skewers his sex life (been there, done that), tackles celebrity culture (et tu Brett Favre?) and even devours all-you-can-eat USDA Canner grade prime rib and lives to tell about it!

Culled from a 17-year writing career and his Smart ReMarx blog, Thank You is Implied highlights the author’s humorous and unrepentant take on pop culture, sports, relationships and everything else. If you are wondering who predicted the decline of Pluto, the collapse of the economy, and the end of the All American Football League, the answers are all here. Each article is annotated with additional commentary, anecdotes, and explanations (and a couple of apologies) from the author. Every article is peppered with the sharp wit and smart remarks that have made Marx’s writing completely original and thoroughly satisfying.

For years I’ve followed Mr. Marx’s career with enthusiasm. His snarky wit and searing commentary is hysterical, insightful, and pitch-perfect. Whether reviewing a movie (“Watchmen” pg. 56) or commenting (accurately, as time would prove) on the impact of Michael Vick on the Atlanta Falcons (pg. 85), each page is brimming with the kind of humor that I love.
What I love most about his writing is that in the age of blogging, when the internet is inundated with op-eds and self-righteous sermonizing, he succeeds in blending humor, opinion, and well-researched fact together with a dose of honesty that is rare in an internet culture that tends toward gloss.
So, I love this book, and I eagerly await Mr. Marx’s next work. I look forward to 17 more years.
And yes, Mr. Marx, a thank you is most certainly implied.
