Author: Bob-Waksberg, Raphael

Condition: new

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.Complex, daring, emotional, and unique, with notes of melancholic brilliance and an aftertaste of subtle elation: it is hard to describe the writing of Raphael Bob-Waksberg without sounding like Frasier discussing wine.-B. J. Novak, author of One More ThingWritten with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of BoJack Horseman, Raphael Bob-Waksbergs 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 cant 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.
