Whether he's wearing four layers of clothing to artificially beef up his slim frame, routinely testing highlighters against his forearm to see if he indeed has yellow skin, or preemptively sabotaging promising relationships in order to avoid comparison to former boyfriends, Yoo celebrates and skewers the insecurities of anxious people everywhere.媒体推荐"THE CHOKE ARTIST is brilliantly sneaky. David Yoo is so funny that sometimes you forget he's writing about his (and America's) deepest, most basic fears. In a country that worships success, failure is taboo. Yoo embraces it head-on, his humor leavening yet never concealing the pain of not having enough faith in oneself." (Stewart O'Nan, bestselling author ofWish You Were Here)

I loved this book and couldn't put it down! It's raw, startling, laugh-out-loud funny-and ultimately about the irrepressible human spirit. (Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor and author ofBattle Hymn of the Tiger Mother)

"An admitted rug-humping, shrimpy, underachieving choke artist, David Yoo confesses his deepest darkest, hilariously unattractive and sadly relatable truths. And in turn, sets us all free." (Hilary Winston, author ofMy Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Meand writer forCommunityandHappy Endings)

"Reading THE CHOKE ARTIST is like watching someone get kicked in the nuts-in a good way. Yoo makes us laugh and wince and relive the horrific, hilarious agony of being young." (Annie Choi, author ofHappy Birthday or Whatever)
