I Shudder is a side-splittingly funny collection of essays from Paul Rudnick, one of Americaâs preeminent humorists. Rudnick, who writes for The New Yorker and has written the screenplays for the films In and Out, Sister Act, and Addams Family Values, shares his hilarious observations on life in New York City and New Jersey, the perils of show business, and dealing with oneâs family, however crazy they may be. As David Sedaris says, âThereâs no book wiser or half as funny as I Shudder.â
