The Art of Stating the Obvious

There is no such thing as a people’s philosopher but Duffer O’Grady set out to be one. From his earliest years, Duffer was a misfit looking at life from the outside. Apparently not good at anything, this ordinary underachiever had the extraordinary gift of taking what he learned across several continents and humorously making it the stuff of little speeches full of insight and wisdom. In pubs and clubs, he charmed a legion of fans who came to think and laugh as he practiced what he called “The Art of Stating the Obvious.” In his long strange journey, by turns funny and sad, he sought comically to make the pretentious-prone inquiry into the meaning of life only to find new meaning in his own.
