About this listen

Insanely creative and laugh-out-loud funny, Insults May Vary is a brilliantly original collection of satirical humor that takes listeners on a wildly imaginative ride through the quirks, contradictions, and absurdities of Western culture.

With a voice that is both eloquent and irreverent, David Ferrell tackles questions no one else would dare to ask. What exactly are the high-desert raconteurs rambling about in Jerome, Arizona? Who really sparked the rumored celebrity food fight at Spago—and what was George Clooney wearing? And why, in a parallel literary universe, might Ernest Hemingway have abandoned a sequel titled For Whom the Phone Rings?

Blending sharp wit, dark comedy, and inventive storytelling, Ferrell moves effortlessly from the spoken-word circuit to the shadowy corners of secret societies, including a tongue-in-cheek look inside the mysterious Covert Anonymous Hush-Hush League. Each piece is richly crafted, clever, and unpredictably funny, making this audiobook a perfect listen for fans of intelligent satire and offbeat humor.

David Ferrell is an award-winning former staff writer at the Los Angeles Times and a member of two Pulitzer Prize-winning news teams. His dark-comedy novel Screwball was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection optioned by Universal Pictures. Known for his lyrical, incisive style, Ferrell has written vividly about subjects ranging from homelessness and wealth to jailhouse violence and extreme sports. His work on the Badwater Ultramarathon was featured in Best American Sports Writing. He lives with his family in Long Beach, California.
