Joel Golby's writing for Vice and The Guardian, with its wry observation and naked self-reflection, has brought him a wide and devoted following. Now, in his first book, he presents a blistering collection of new and newly expanded essays--including the achingly funny viral hit "Things You Only Know When Both Your Parents Are Dead." In these pages, he travels to Saudi Arabia, where he acts as a perplexed bystander at a camel pageant; offers a survival guide for the modern dinner party (i.e. how to tactfully escape at the first sign of an adult board game); and gets pitted head-to-head, again and again, with an unpredictable, unpitying subspecies of Londoner: the landlord.

Through it all, he shows that no matter how cruel the misfortune, how absurd the circumstance, there's always the soft punch of a lesson tucked within. This is a book for anyone who overshares, overthinks, has ever felt lost or confused--and who wants to have a good laugh about it.

Muito aleatório

Por ele ter várias histórias aleatórias nele eu achei q poderia ser mais engraçado ou divertido de ler. eu não gostei dele , no começo achei q tava gostando pq estava em um assusto interessante meio engraçado mas depois começou a falar de muita coisa nada a ver com nada. só queria terminar logo kkkkkkk mas é um bom livro pra quem quer ler algo de diferente
