When I say the following trailer for the book, "The Beaufort Diaries" fails, what I mean is it didn't make me click over to Amazon to order it. I think this is a fundamental problem with videos for works of fiction--the experience of watching is different from the experience of reading and liking the trailer may or may not mean you'll like the book.
But I did enjoy watching the clever animation and hearing the narration by David Duchovny. The book is by Gary Shteyngart and illustrated by Alex Petrowsky. Have a look (warning, if you're in the office: there's a bit of strong language).
