I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is a book written by Tucker Max, published in 2006, that details anecdotal stories of debauchery and belligerence. It made the New York Times Bestseller list in 2006, 2007 and 2008.[1][2][3] It sold an estimated 70,000 copies its first year.[4] Composed of short stories narrated by the author, often focuses on the narrator's humorous excess. The stories normally deal with themes such as the author's views on women, drinking (often to excess), insulting people, and embarrassing sexual encounters. A sequel, titled 'Assholes Finish First'[5][6], is set to be released by Simon and Schuster in 2010.[7]

[edit] FratireMain article: Fratire Shortly after publication, Max was featured in the New York Times Sunday Section with writers Maddox and Frank Kelly Rich.[8] The piece dubbed their new genre "fratire". The term has come to embody hyper-masculinity and political incorrectness, in response to "chicklit" and other books written specifically for women.[9] The male-centered themes of the book produced a flurry of portmanteau buzz words like mennisance, dicklit, and fratire.[10][11] None of them acquired much widespread usage. However, the genre flourished, and many similarly targeted books have been published since.[12][13][14] [edit] Film AdaptationMain article: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (film) In 2008, Max announced that he was independently financing a movie with the same title, loosely based on The Austin Road Trip story from the book.[15] The movie follows Tucker and his friends to a bachelor party where he abandons them in pursuit of sex.[16] After being banned from the wedding, Tucker attempts to right past wrongs. In an interview with Shave Magazine, Tucker explained that he did not portray himself in the film because he is simply "not a good actor...the movie would’ve sucked if I had played myself." [17] Filming took place in Shreveport, Louisiana.[18][16] The movie is produced and financed by Darko Entertainment, the company behind Donnie Darko and was released September 25, 2009 and received largely negative reception. [19] The DVD is set to be released January 26, 2010. [edit] References
