Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, The Squid and the Whale) has written a play about “a college kid consumed by white guilt, his multiculturalism-obsessed pothead mentor and roommate”, and how “their relationship is complicated by the sudden arrival of Edgar’s new sister-in-law of Filipino descent”. Asuncion opened the other day at the Cherry Lane Theatre Off-Broadway. Of course Jesse plays the kid consumed by guilt.

Phil Ref Alert: books by Christopher Moore:
1) Island of the Sequined Love Nun: a transgender from Samar, if I remember correctly
2) A Dirty Job: the online transgender girlfriend of one of the book’s ‘supporting cast’
(If it weren’t for boredom, I wouldn’t have read #1 because of the inane title. And then I became a convert! It was excellently written and snot-shooting-out-of-both-nostrils funny!
I highly recommend Lamb (i.e., The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s childhood pal), documenting the missing years of Christ’s childhood. Irreverent without being disrespectful, well researched, very smart, poignant, and LOL.))
