Southampton - Shaggy haired Comedy Central comedian Demetri Martin recently released his first literary foray, "This Is A Book," which features longer-form essays, short stories and his trademark doodles, drawings and one-liners.

Martin's prose is varied and full of surprises, swinging from a melodrama about a clinic of doctors who treat only the flesh wounds of Hollywood action heroes to the occupational hazards of human cannonballs.

There is a love story that spans life and death, an unusual, thought-provoking crossword puzzle and a collection of hilarious charts and graphs. Containing a riotous blend of material, Martin's unique voice and brilliant mind will keep readers laughing from beginning to end.

This is a book has been acclaimed by many fellow comedians including Conan O'Brien, Will Ferrell and more.

Demetri starred in Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock," a feature film about the famed concert which was released in 2009.
