This was a great short collection of irreverent stories, that hit a bit close to home for Personal Life Reasons but nonetheless were enjoyable to read! Recommended by Priti for Bookticle Club (an august organization that began as Happy Hour Hangout, then had a brief dalliance as Book Club before settling into Article Club for many a year, and then went into hibernation before being reborn during COVID–for a time as Bookticle Club, an attempt to sneak “Book Club” past everyone’s newly refreshed “I am […]

Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory by Raphael Bob-Waksberg

The bizarre come home to roost in Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory. Fleeting daydreams turn into years long stunted relationships, science goes too far into US history, dogs navigate the meaning of “good” and “bad”, entire stories are told in the span of half-sentences, and a Minions watch holds new and aching power. The wordplay, absurdity, and bone-deep ennui of Bob-Waksberg’s previous creation, Bojack Horseman, are ever present and ready to build you up and tear you back down to the ground. […]
