DAVE HILL is a comedian, writer, musician, actor, radio host and man-about-town originally from Cleveland, Ohio, but now living in New York City in a totally sweet apartment with a party deck and everything. He is the author of two previous books, Tasteful Nudes and Dave Hill Doesn't Live Here Anymore, and has written for The New York Times, GQ, Salon, The Paris Review, McSweeney's, The New York Observer, The Cleveland Plain Dealer, VICE, Guitar Worldand a bunch of other places. Comedy legend Dick Cavett called Dave ""a major figure among American comic writers, past and present,"" which is pretty much the coolest thing that has ever happened as far as Dave is concerned. Dave has appeared on such TV shows as Inside Amy Schumer and Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, hosted for HBO and Cinemax, and performed live comedy around the world. He hosts The Goddamn Dave Hill Show on the WFMU radio station in Jersey City every Monday night. Dave is a frequent contributor to public radio's This American Life. He is also a musician who currently sings and plays guitar in the psych/garage rock band Painted Doll, the extremely extreme Norwegian black metal band Witch Taint, and the power pop band Valley Lodge, whose song ""Go"" is the theme to HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
"""I know Dave Hill the guitar God, Dave Hill the metal-head, Dave the spawn of Cleveland, the stand-up comic extraordinaire, and the Twitter pariah. But then I read The Awesome Game and realized. Wait. Dave is a philosopher of hockey? If Northeast Ohio ever had a renaissance, Dave Hill would be a renaissance man."" —Malcolm Gladwell ""Dave Hill's humorous journey reveals that hockey is anything but a joke. He understands that the game is the great connector and for us die-hard fans, that's good for the soul."" —Scott Russell, CBC Sports Host ""I have only been to one hockey game in my life and this book brought it all back for me and made me want to go to more of them. Anything Dave writes I want to read!"" —Margaret Cho ""With passion and tenacity, Dave Hill has traveled the world to find out how 'the sport of the gods' weaves its spell. He may now be my favorite American. Not just because he is friendly, funny and loves hockey as much as any human being can, but because he openly questions why more Americans don't love hockey as much as he does. Anyone who openly questions Americans on their questionable behaviors is well worth reading to me."" —Steve Patterson, CBC Radio's The Debaters ""There is nothing better than a new book from Dave Hill. Dave is funnier than the rest and makes us look at the world with new eyes—with Dave Hill eyes that are now looking at hockey and crushing everyone in his path—in a good way."" —Tom Papa, author of We're All in This Together. . . So Make Some Room ""Dave is a grinder. He goes to the hard-to-score areas and sacrifices his body for The Awesome Game."" —Sean Avery, bestselling author of Offside: My Life Crossing the Line ""[Hill] spins a good yarn about his world travels encountering many hockey people and personalities in truly non-traditional markets."" —National Post"
