Man Seeking Woman (originally published as The Last Girlfriend on Earth)

by Simon Rich

Overview

In Center of the Universe, God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend.

In Magical Mr. Goat, a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become "more than friends."

In Unprotected, an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications-losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it-and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine's Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.
