Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory: Stories
Author

ISBN
9781524732011
From the creator of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love--the best and worst thing in the universe. Written with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of BoJack Horseman, Raphael Bob-Waksberg's stories will make you laugh, weep, and shiver in uncomfortably delicious recognition. In "A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion," a young couple engaged to be married is forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding. "Missed Connection--m4w" is the tragicomic tale of a pair of lonely commuters eternally failing to make that longed-for contact. And in "More of the You That You Already Are," a struggling employee at a theme park of dead presidents finds that love can't be genetically modified. Equally at home with the surreal and the painfully relatable (and both at once), Bob-Waksberg delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Raphael Bob-WaksbergPublisher: Knopf Publishing GroupPublished: 06/11/2019ISBN: 9781524732011Pages: 256Weight: 1.00lbsSize: 8.60h x 6.00w x 0.90dReview Citations: Library Journal Prepub Alert 01/01/2019 pg. 49Kirkus Reviews 04/01/2019Publishers Weekly 04/29/2019Booklist 05/01/2019 pg. 67
