By: Mark Leyner  
From his cult classic,  I Smell Esther Williams, to his wildly popular and insightful column "Wild Kingdom" appearing in Esquire magazine every month, Mark Leyner has been giving us up close and personal encounters of the most hilarious kind for over a decade.

Now, in his new novel The Tetherballs of Bougainville, Leyner shares with us,  long last, the quintessential coming of age story that every writer, at some point, is compelled to tell.  In the novel we meet young Mark Leyner, 13-years-old to be exact, as he waits in a New Jersey prison to witness his father's execution.  Adolescence is never easy, and it just so happens that this junior high schooler is on deadline to turn in a screenplay for which he has already been awarded the Vincent and Lenore DiGiacomo/Oshimitsu Polymers America Award.  And, as it was for all of us during out teenage years, nothing seems to go as planned.

Written as autobiography, screenplay and movie review, The Tetherballs of Bougainville twists three familiar narrative forms into an outlandishly compelling story.  Leyner's use of the media-driven formats brilliantly reflects our secret, shameful and hilarious desire to experience our private lives as mass entertainment.  The Tetherballs of Bougainville skewers and celebrates American pop culture in the late twentieth century.  Leyner's version of our lives is so deeply funny because it is so painfully true.

Just what I wanted
I am an invalid and spend a lot of time watching tv in the dark, so I wanted a watch I could read in the dark. It isnt very bright but enough to be able to read it and it is also large enough to read easily. It is not beautiful but is good looking enough to wear when going out. It is just what I needed and I am satisfied with it.

Super soft, runs small, long tail
High quality, super soft, good neck height, nice price, ready to go right out of the dryer, medium thick material, works well under a sport coat or sweat shirt, snug fit--runs about one size small. Length is about four inches too long. So, ideally made for tall and skinny people (I am short and thick), but going one size up works fine for me except have to tuck it in due to the length.

This shirt is a cheat code
Color: Black, White, Navy Blue, Light Gray, Size: XX-Large
These shirt fits my body so perfectly! I’m 6’5” 310 pounds but I look 260 pounds. I sweat easily and I’m very sensitive to the material a piece of clothing is made of. This shirt is lightweight, extremely breathable, and feels like silk on the skin. It compliments and accentuates my contours to enhance my physique. I only tried on one and I’ve already ordered 12 more hehe. This is a cheat code.

I Love the collar
Color: Black, White, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: Large
Great T-shirt. I can wear this casually with jeans or with a sports coat. The fabric is soft. There is no label in the collar, so you can wear it however you want.

NOT a compression shirt
Color: Black, White, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: Large
These are well made with good quality material but are not what I was expecting given the picture. I am an XL and ordered a L because I wanted them to be tight (which they are not.) I decided not to return them because they are good shirts with a reasonable fit, but be advised these are not compression shirts.
