Q&A: Actor Jesse Eisenberg Gives Us Hiccups Of Laughter - a podcast by Oregon Public Broadcasting

Jesse Eisenberg is best known for starring in movies like “The Social Network,” “Zombieland” and next year's "Batman v. Superman." But he’s quickly gaining attention for his writing as well, in the form of both plays and humor.

In 2015 alone, Eisenberg starred in three films, spent two months acting in an award-winning off-Broadway play of his own writing, and released his first book. It’s called “Bream Gives Me Hickups & Other Stories," and it takes its name from a series of restaurant reviews he penned for the “New Yorker” from the perspective of a privileged child.

Eisenberg spoke with OPB and and two selections from "Bream Gives Me Hiccups" on a pop-up stage at the book festival Wordstock. You can read an edited version here: http://www.opb.org/artsandlife/article/actor-jesse-eisenberg-gives-us-hiccups
