Nate Bargatze used to be a genius. That is, until the summer after seventh grade when he slipped, fell off a cliff, hit his head on a rock, and my skull got, like, dented or something. Before this accident, he dreamed of being an electric engineer, or a doctor that does brain stuff, or a math teacher who teaches the hardest math on earth. Afterwards, all he could do was stand-up comedy.* But the brain stuff industrys loss is everyone elses gain because Nate went on to become one of todays top-grossing comedians, breaking both attendance and streaming records. In his highly anticipated first book, Nate talks about life as a non-genius. From stories about his first car (named Old Blue, a clunky Mazda with a tennis ball stick shift) and his travels as a Southerner to tales of his first apartment and his many debates with his wife over his chores, diet, and even his definition of shopping. BIG DUMB EYES will make readers laugh out loud and nod in recognition, but it probably wont make them think too much.
