内容説明
Who is Ted L. Nancy?
He's a concerned hotel guest searching for a lost tooth...
He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit...
He's the genius inventor of "Six Day Underwear"...
He's a demanding dramatist seeking an audience for his play about his 26-year-old dog, Cinnamon...
He's the proud owner of Charles, a 36-year-old cat who owes his longevity to a pet food company...
He's a loyal fan of the King of Tonga...
He is, in reality, a twisted prankster -- a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters and queries to (and receives surprisingly earnest responses back from) corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state to everyone, in fact, from the president of the Bon Ami Cleanser Company to U.S. Vice President Al Gore.
Letters From A Nut is an insanely inspired, truly madcap collection of Nancy correspondence, a laugh-out-loud-in-public-places aggregation of official -- and officially certifiable -- requests, complaints, fan mail and questions that could not possibly have been taken seriously...but, amazingly, were!
Dear Mr. Nancy:"It is not often that we receive such enthusiastic support for the paper bag." --The Paper Bag Council
"On behalf of Greyhound, there should be no problem traveling while in your butter costume." --Greyhound Bus Lines
"I look forward to working with you to create a better future for this great nation." -- Vice President Al Gore
"An unending stream of some of the most hilarious exchanges I've ever read. Everyone I lent this book to just read it and laughed out loud like I did. It's so simple, yet totally inventive. I'm sure some sort of mail fraud charges could be brought to stop this man but, personally, I hope they never catch him." --Jerry Seinfeld

アメリカでは大人気の本です。この馬鹿さ加減がアメリカ人が
喜ぶ感覚なんですよ。日本人だと最初はぴんとこないかもしれません
が、２回読めば、ユーモアがわかってくると思います。

英文メールの実用書かと思って購入しましたが、ページをめくってみると予想外の展開なので愕きました。ナイスな本です。なかでも「全裸スロットマシーン大会」についての問い合わせメールは最高の出来映えです。ホテルからの返答も笑わせてくれます。内容はともかく、メールの体裁や言葉の選び方などはきわめて生真面目で丁寧なので、ビジネスメールの参考にもなりそうです。ただ、原タイトルと比較すると日本語タイトルがやや平凡で残念な気がします。

An absolute scream...but who's the NUT??
2001/9/5
形式:ハードカバー
When Jerry Seinfeld introduces Ted L. Nancy's Letters from a Nut you know it's not going to be just another humor book. The premise is simple: Nancy (is it Jerry Seinfeld? Or Jerry's former collaborator Larry David? Or does Nancy exist -- or is he really some very SERIOUS author having fun?) writes seemingly serious, off-the-wall letters to various companies and indivduals. Some of the funniest are to hotels. In a 1996 letter he writes to the Las Vegas Hilton, saying he has saved up a long time for an Elvis concert and wants to make reservations for the croaked King's Sept 1996 show. Sometimes (as in the Hilton's letter)he gets back a form letter ignoring his letter's contents. Or sometimes, such as when he writes a hotel asking if they found his lost tooth, they answer seriously...as does the Disneyland Hotel, when he writes and asks if he could check in with his own ice machine (the hotel says no). This is laugh-out-loud stuff that you won't be able to put down: a letter to Nordstrom asking to buy a mannequin that looks like his deceased best friend; a letter to the University of Alabama praising the CITY of Alabama, etc. In each case, the complete letter is shown plus the often puzzled response. One note: this is modern "ironic" humor which means the humor isn't in just reading a single letter. It lies in reading the letter and THEN the response (or seeing a nonresponse). Nancy writes even nuttier follow up letters. FOOTNOTE: There are several additional books in the "Letters" series and they are all wonderfully, incredibly nutty. I own all three.

Who Is This Guy???
2002/10/23
形式:ハードカバー
This is a very funny book for a one time read. It's best on the coffee table as an ice breaker for people to pick up and take a gander at. Once they do they will start reading these letters and the replys to them out loud.
Ted L. Nancy writes letter's. He writes to EVERYONE! He writes to hotels, with special requests. Requests that are so outrageous, it's funny that he is actually taken seriously by them. He may ask if he can bring some of his own furniture with him, or if he can have special security because he looks "just like Abe Lincoln", and it's so close to President's day that he doesn't want to get mobbed. He writes to Pet food companies telling them he has a 28 year old dog, and has been using their brand,and would they give him advice for senior dogs. He writes to candy bar companies, suggesting new names for candies,baseball card companies saying he has Mickey Mantle's toenail clippings, and so much more.
In some cases the responses are funnier than the letters. Some will brush him off politley, saying there are no reservations for the day he wants to visit, or they maybe interested in his clippings, could he send a polaroid of them, some send coupons for 50 cents off the candy but are not interested in any new names.
You can open up to any page and get a good laugh. But don't read the last letter first!! Save it for the end.
It's not a book that you can read again right away,or from cover to cover, as some of the letters do get a little repetative, but if you know someone who is a little down or laid up and could use a good laugh this is perfect.
There is an introduction by Jerry Seinfeld, talking about how he "found" some of these letters on a freinds coffee table and thought they would make a great book. Do Ya think? Nah. He couldn't be. Could he?
Enjoy.......Laurie

Great Book for Group or Family Reading
1999/11/5
形式:ハードカバー
This is a hilarious look at our culture. It is mischevious without being mean. It can be read aloud, and in short spurts. I confess that I am stopping on the way home tonight to buy stamps....watch out
