Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Diary of Indignities first foisted itself on an unsuspecting public on the popular blog Bad News Hughes, where thousands of readers are disgusted, amused, and just plain baffled every day by these vivid, seriocomic stories of soul-melting shame. Patrick Hughes doesn't understand exactly where, or when, things went wrong in what should have been a "normal life," but he's more than happy — make that driven — to share his personal calamities with his readers. Inexplicably, he has an uncanny talent for personal failure, with more than the average share of embarrassment, heartbreak, carefree violence, booze-related trouble, bodily injury, hypochondria, inappropriate nudity, painful rashes, neuroses, colonoscopy procedures, and unpleasant smells — all totally true. In Diary of Indignities, complete with humiliating full-color photo essays, the author guides readers past good taste, sense, and even logic into that magical, mayhem-ridden world known as his life.

If even an uptight suburban mom can relate to most of these stories, then something is seriously right with this book. I am regularly brought to tears - either laughing or crying - as I have lurked badnewshughes for the past three years. Make no mistake, I AM a nurse and do have a strong stomach, but once you've been warned that there is some potty talk, open your mind and enjoy the ride. I find myself wanting to simultaneously adopt and smother him with hugs, or else spank him and send him to his room. What a gift he has shared with the rest of us to hold up a big mirror to the frail and magnificent human race. And laugh.
