Lange has laid his life open for everyone to read. Too Fat to Fish tells it all, from his working-class New Jersey Italian childhood to his rise to fame via films such as Dirty Work and Elf, and his time on sketch comedy show MadTV. Sex, drugs, fame, fortune, fans, more sex, more drugs...its all told here in inimitable shock-and-awe style. The book is being promoted with the tagline proof that some people never learn from their mistakes, but were rooting for the big man this time around. Meet Artie Lange and hear some crazy shit this Thursday at 8 p.m. at Books & Books.
