Year Book Seth Rogan
hello! i’m seth! I was asked to describe my book, yearbook, for the inside flap (which is a gross phrase) and for websites and stuff, so…here it goes!!!
The yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope will be at worst funny and at best surprising and life-changing. (I get that it’s probably the first, which is a “book” fancy way of saying “the first”.)
I talk about my grandparents, stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs and Jewish summer camps, and I tell a lot more stories about drug use than my mom would like. I also talk about some of my adventures in Los Angeles, and surely say things about other famous people that will one day create a very uncomfortable conversation for me at a party.
I hope you enjoy the book if you buy it, and if you don’t, I’m sorry. If you ever see me on the street and explain the situation to me, I will do my best to make it up to you.

so I’ve written a book. after having considered the idea for years and even offered some questionable opportunities (“it’s a doddle! just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover and voila!”) I’ve decided to write. these stories as I have always done, in my own handwriting. The joy I’ve felt in telling these stories is no different than listening to a song I recorded and can’t wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice. bounce between the kiss posters on my wall as a kid.
