Synopsis

Love can be messy, painful, and even tragic. When seen through the eyes of Simon Rich it can also be hilarious.

In these ingenious stories, Rich conjures up some unforgettable romances: an unused prophylactic describes life inside a teenage boy's wallet; God juggles the demands of his needy girlfriend with the looming deadline for earth's creation; and a lovestruck Sherlock Holmes ignores all the clues that his girlfriend's been cheating on him.

As enchanting, sweet, and absurd as love itself, these stories are an irresistible collection of delights.

"No matter how zany things get, there's an endearing simplicity at the heart of these inventive tales . . . love doesn't always conquer all, but these stories suggest Rich thinks its certainly ought to." -- Daily Beast

Goodreads review by Jade on July 06, 2013

So, this book. Where to start. I guess we'll start with the fact that I found out after reading it that the author also wrote for Saturday Night Live. Oh, well, that's not a great criteria for being funny. When was the last time SNL was funny? Much like SNL, there are occasional flashes of brillianc......more

Goodreads review by Peter on May 15, 2016

There isn't a writer around that makes me laugh as much as Simon Rich. A former SNL staffer and a regular contributor to the New Yorker, he has a unique way of using surreal situations to highlight the absurdities of modern life. The stories in this book focus on the pursuit of love and the difficult......more

Goodreads review by Tomas on February 02, 2019

Fenomenálne. Počul som jednu poviedku v rádiu (The Present) a musel som zastaviť a zapísať si meno autora, lebo mi prešiel z nej mráz po chrbte. Všetky ostatné sú viac vtipné ako mrazivé, všetko krátke smiešne mikropoviedky o láske zľahka šmrncnuté sci-fi žánrom. Ak si toto neprečítate, lebo nemáte......more
