DC Pierson is a New York University graduate with a comedy team simply called: DERRICK(?!)
The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep is his first book and has been getting some decent buzz- It's a book about the experience of teenage males immersed in ultimate nerd-dom (and a few unusual traits but I don't want to spoil anything.) The novel is accompanied by illustrations drawn by the protagonist and they look as though they were scanned from the margins of a grade eight math text book. A good quick read - and totally hilarious.
