Jesse Eisenberg is perhaps best known to American audiences for his work in films. But now, he's also the author of a collection of short stories.

Jesse Eisenberg is perhaps best known to American audiences for his work in film as Facebook founder Marc Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," and as writer David Lipsky in this year's "The End of the Tour." 

But he is also an author, penning three plays and various articles in The New Yorker and McSweeney's. 

He joined host Alex Cohen to talk about his newest work, a collection of short stories called "Bream Gives Me Hiccups." Here's an excerpt from the book, a chapter titled Sushi Nozawa.
