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

Darkly humorous musings on love's complex facets.

If the sharp wit of "BoJack Horseman" enticed you, then Raphael Bob-Waksberg's written work won't disappoint. It's a treasure trove for anyone who finds solace in the bizarrely humorous side of love's often-uncomfortable realities. The off-kilter scenarios filled with cultural quips and the raw underbelly of emotion make it an exceptionally engrossing read for anyone who appreciates love’s oddities as much as its beauties.

Description

One of the Best Books of the Year — The A.V. Club. From the creator of BoJack Horseman, a fabulously offbeat 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 Thing. Written with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of BoJack Horseman, 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.
