Er reißt auf und legt flach wie ein Weltmeister und trinkt gerne mal zehn Bier zu viel: Tucker Max, 33 Jahre alt und im Internet längst eine Kultfigur. Aus einer Wette ging 2002 seine Homepage hervor, die interessierten Damen die Gelegenheit bot, sich per Bewerbungsformular um ein Date mit ihm zu bemühen. Sechs Jahre und geschätzte 300 Frauen später gibt der selbstbewusste Womanizer die verrücktesten, heißesten, aber auch fiesesten Geschichten aus seinem bewegten Leben zum Besten.
Für die einen ein Held, für die anderen eine Hassfigur - Tucker Max provoziert und lässt sich weder von Journalisten noch von Verflossenen, die juristisch gegen ihn vorgehen, ans Bein pinkeln: "Ich bin ein Arschloch. Ich betrinke mich bei völlig unpassenden Gelegenheiten, missachte soziale Normen, . . . schlafe mit mehr Frauen, als vernünftig ist, und verhalte mich stets wie ein verrückt gewordener Schwachkopf. Aber ich leiste auf eine sehr wichtige Art und Weise doch meinen Beitrag zum Wohle der Menschheit: Ich teile meine Abenteuer mit dem Rest der Welt."
"My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole." With these words Tucker Max launched a classic humor bestseller that has sold more than two million copies in the US and hundreds of thousands more throughout the world. I HOPE THEY SERVE BEER IN HELL was on The New York Times bestseller list for five years including the #1 position.
The new edition, released in September 2015, includes a new 6-page Afterword that will delight Tucker's fans. In it he describes his life in the 10 years since the book was first published, including his marriage and becoming a dad. His anecdotes are, as always, funny and revealing, told in the unique voice that millions of readers have come to love.
Actual reader feedback:
"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you--for sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say 'screw the system' and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I finished reading your stories. Now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, 'What Would Tucker Do?'--and I do it, and I am a better man for it."
"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don't believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."
"I'll stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. You're an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."
"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."
