I Kan det här vara nåt? delar en av vår tids allra största komiker med sig av sina bästa skämt från fem decennier på humorscenen. Första gången Jerry Seinfeld uppträdde som komiker var 1975, som 21-åring på den legendariska New York-klubben Catch a rising star. Sedan dess har han skrivit allt sitt material själv - och sparat det. Till den här boken har han valt ut sina favoriter, sorterade i årtionden. På sida efter sida med briljanta och skrattframkallande betraktelser får läsarna en unik inblick i en av vår tids största komikers utveckling, och den härliga men också mycket krävande konstformen standup. "Närhelst jag kom på något bra, oavsett om det var på scen, under ett samtal eller medan jag skrev i mitt stora gula block, sparade jag alltihop i ett stort gammalt dragspelsfodral", skriver han i boken."Jag älskar att slå upp den här boken, låtsas att jag är Jerry och få min fru att skratta med hjälp av Jerrys material. Det är som en konstnär som kopierar målningar på ett museum: du lär dig genom att efterlikna andras penseldrag." Steve Martin, New York Times Book ReviewJerry Seinfeld är komiker och bosatt i New York, mest uppmärksammad för tv-serien Seinfeld, långköraren där han spelade huvudrollen som sig själv.

The first book in twenty-five years from "one of our great comic minds" (The Washington Post) features Seinfeld's best work across five decades in comedy.Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub "Catch a Rising Star" as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. "Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders," Seinfeld writes. "So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth." For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In this "trove of laugh-out-loud one-liners" (Associated Press), you will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.
