Seinfeld Writer Peter Mehlman Launches New Book April 4, 2013

Seinfeld writer Peter Mehlman, who has brought us “sponge worthy" and “double-dipping” and added “Yada Yada" to the Oxford Dictionary, will launch his new book, MANDELA WAS LATE, with an introduction by Mike Sager (best-selling author, journalist, and Writer-At-Large at Esquire).

In MANDELA WAS LATE, we follow the true and fictional tales of Mehlman's satiric genius who somehow manages to see life more clearly than the rest of us. From riding along the arc of time, drawn by six separate moving violations (L.A. being the only city where you can you mark life’s mileposts by your traffic citations) to the thrill of being nominated for an Emmy and the agony of not winning… early in the evening, to “star trekking” across the urban wilds of Manhattan in a hunting celebrity big game––nothing is sacrosanct–– including other people’s kids.
