I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is a book of autobiographical short stories about sex and drinking adventures written by Tucker Max. It was a New York Times #1 bestseller and has made the Best Seller List each year from 2006 to 2011.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] It has sold over one million copies worldwide, including 400,000 copies in 2009 alone.[8][9] The book was subsequently made into a feature film of the same title.

Composed of short stories narrated by the author, the book often focuses on the narrator's humorous excess. The stories deal with themes such as the author's views on women, drinking (often to excess), insulting people, and embarrassing sexual encounters. A sequel, Assholes Finish First,[10][11] was released by Simon & Schuster on September 28, 2010.[12]

Main article: Fratire

Max and George Ouzounian (known more commonly by his pen name, Maddox), are considered founding authors of the 21st century literary genre "fratire".[13] The term was introduced by The New York Times reporter Warren St. John in a 2006 article titled Dude, Here's My Book.[14] The genre is characterized by masculine themes and could be considered the male equivalent of chick lit.[14][15] Both Max and Maddox resent the label, and have pointed out that neither of them was ever in a fraternity.
