Bruce Eric Kaplan has long been one of our foremost humorists—in cartoons, on TV—but his prose is him at his best. His impressions of life are both dagger-sharp and comforting and he engages with the challenge of everyday—everyday parenthood, everyday politics, everyday madness— to create something of philosophical depth and comic precision. This book doesn’t shy away from the challenges of being a person, yet does no less than remind me of the magic in the quotidian, of all there is to love about being human.”
—Lena Dunham
“It's the best book I've read about waiting for something to happen. It's beautiful. I love it so much.”
—Gary Janetti, New York Times bestselling author of Do You Mind If I Cancel? and Start Without Me
“Bruce Eric Kaplan has written a funny, riveting, honest, and shocking memoir about hope and heartbreak. Essential reading for anyone aspiring to, contemplating, or dreaming of the Hollywood life.”
—Delia Ephron, New York Times bestselling author of Left on Tenth
“Bruce Eric Kaplan's hilarious, harrowing memoir captures the Sisyphean slog of Hollywood screenwriting better than any work of art I've ever seen. Brutal, devastating, and also somehow inspiring, it made me laugh, scream and sigh with recognition. I absolutely loved it.”
—Simon Rich, author of Glory Days
“I don’t know anyone funnier than Bruce Eric Kaplan and I don’t know anyone who suffers more than Bruce Eric Kaplan. Both of these truths bring me great joy.”
—Judd Apatow
