I really like it when books have promo videos that communicate the big idea. It seems like a contradiction to have a video promote a book (different audiences, less room for imagination, etc.), but a 1-3 minute teaser for a book is brilliant.

I saw a book promo video today for Shalom Auslander’s new book, Foreskin’s Lament.

As if the title of the book alone wouldn’t pique your interest–the video certainly does. Love it!

    Wow! Utterly depressing and awesome at the same time. A very nice slice of sarcasm and extremly dry humor… i think. It does spur curiosity if not for the book at least for a completed video.
