Can you sell a book online by standing in front of a white backdrop for three minutes talking about religion and politics? Lewis Black is giving it his best shot; this is the first of several promotional videos planned before Me of Little Faith ships in June. Mind you, making the monologue safe for all ages does require taking a bit of the edge off Black’s rage; there’s not even any bleeps, because he made sure no stray cuss words slipped out.
Would I recommend that you try to sell your book by talking in front of a backdrop for three minutes? Not unless you’re Lewis Black… or maybe Brian Atene. If Brian Atene were to get a book deal.
