Summary

«Le persone si dividono in due tipi: quelle che non vuoi toccare perché hai paura che si spezzino e quelle che non vuoi toccare perché hai paura che ti spezzino»。 Un uomo e una donna che saltano tutte le fermate della metropolitana della loro vita in attesa dell’occasione giusta。 Due sposi costretti dai parenti a sacrificare caproni per assicurarsi la felicità futura。 Uno scienziato che fa avanti e indietro da un universo parallelo in cui ha fatto solo le scelte giuste。 E altri quindici racconti dal creatore di BoJack Horseman pieni di umorismo e sincerità sul sentimento più bello e su quello più terribile: l’amore。

Questo libro contiene:

1。 Un uomo e una donna che saltano tutte le fermate della metropolitana della loro vita in attesa dell’occasione giusta。 Due sposi costretti dai parenti a sacrificare caproni per assicurarsi la felicità futura。 Uno scienziato che fa avanti e indietro da un universo parallelo in cui ha fatto solo le scelte giuste。

2。 E altri quindici racconti pieni di umorismo, romanticismo, stravagante surrealismo e sincerità。

3。 Una scatenata comicità che nasconde una verità sgradevole che fingiamo di non vedere che a sua volta cela un’amara ironia che svela il dolore di cui siamo composti che prepara il sorriso dell’accettazione bagnato dalle lacrime per l’essere vivi。

4。 Elenchi puntati。

5。 Chiunque abbia visto qualche puntata di BoJack Horseman sa che il talento di Raphael Bob-Waksberg si sviluppa in una cifra unica, personalissima: quella in cui l’ironia più amara diventa un bisturi affilatissimo che taglia i nodi delle relazioni umane。 Le nostre fragilità, il desiderio di essere amati, di essere riconosciuti dall’altro, la nostra ricerca di qualcosa che illumini le ombre che ci portiamo dentro。

6。 Leggendo questi racconti preparatevi a essere devastati e ricostruiti pezzo a pezzo。

Probabilmente 3。5。 Ma era il libro di cui avevo bisogno per uscire dal blocco del lettore。

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 " 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 not overcomitting myself anymore" mantras, and now in its I-won't-call-it-final-but-promising-form of Book Rapport Club, a clever play on book report that I utterly missed), Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory reads like McSweeney's gone literary, and I say that with no pretension whatsoever。 I love reading McSweeney's although given its prodigious output it's always a Jafar-esque task of finding the diamond(s) in the rough。A sidebar for my favorite McSweeney's piece of all time (and, possibly, one of the best things ever?): I REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT MY WEDDING TO CAPTAIN VON TRAPP HAS BEEN CANCELED。But here, it's more a personal matter as to which stories might not catch your attention, because they're all quite snappy and great。 For example, I did not enjoy one of the stories highlighted for discussion ("These Are Facts") about midway through, and then I googled it for some advice on how to Understand the Literary Bits。 As it were I enjoyed the story from that point onwards!Quick snippets on others I enjoyed:"A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion" : because if you're not sacrificing at least 23 goats then are you even getting married?"Lunch with the Person Who Dumped You" : this is classic and also a corollary to the story "All The Ways You Can Look When You Run Into The PWDY And All the Outfits You Own You Could Have Been Wearing""You Want to Know What Plays Are Like" : a particularly hilarious one for me, with its snide asides as to the nature of plays (plays are very important works of art and also I have fallen asleep in many) 。。。more

Bittersweet in the best wayI can't do these stories justice, but they evoked so many different feelings in me with so few words。 I went from laughing to feeling like the book was seeing into my soul, from deep sadness to joy。 Books like this always astonish me in their ability to simultaneously make me feel so arrogant for ever thinking that my feelings and human experience are unique, but also so linked to the rest of humanity for those shared experiences。 So many of the stories get all of the Bittersweet in the best wayI can't do these stories justice, but they evoked so many different feelings in me with so few words。 I went from laughing to feeling like the book was seeing into my soul, from deep sadness to joy。 Books like this always astonish me in their ability to simultaneously make me feel so arrogant for ever thinking that my feelings and human experience are unique, but also so linked to the rest of humanity for those shared experiences。 So many of the stories get all of the tiny details and nuances of feeling so correct。 Highly recommend。 。。。more

The writing is choppy。 I liked a few of the short stories but overall the writing wasnt great。 The random capitalized words drove me insane。 The humor was pretty good but I assumed at least one of these stories would end in a positive love story but they were all pretty bitter。

Madeline Arcellana

Quirky and offbeat。 Probably would have rated 4 stars, but the story Rufus alone earns this collection a full 5 stars for me。

I loved this book! Even though not all of the stories were my cup of tea - some were simply too bizarre for me to appreciate, though this is the creator of Bojack Horseman we're talking about。 It was an easy, light read that I managed to finish within a couple of days。 I think my favourite part about this book was how it managed to be both light-hearted and deep at the same time - a lot of the stories were super relatable too。 I loved this book!

Irreverent, insightful, and unpredictable。 The range of Bon-Waksberg’s talents as a writer are on full display in this collection of short stories about love, loss, and everything in between (including satanic weddings and superheroes that require a bit of liquid courage to properly harness their superpowers)。 Every story is a page turner that culminates by making a highly relatable and cogent argument about how we can and should love and be loved。 You’ll love some stories more than others, but Irreverent, insightful, and unpredictable。 The range of Bon-Waksberg’s talents as a writer are on full display in this collection of short stories about love, loss, and everything in between (including satanic weddings and superheroes that require a bit of liquid courage to properly harness their superpowers)。 Every story is a page turner that culminates by making a highly relatable and cogent argument about how we can and should love and be loved。 You’ll love some stories more than others, but I think every single piece in this book has its merits。 I’ll be recommending this to friends。 。。。more

The Catch-22 of Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory is this: the ideal reader for this collection of short stories is someone who has never seen BoJack Horseman, because this book serves as a great intro course to Raphael Bob-Waksberg's particular storytelling style, without ever reaching the incredible heights he achieved with his Netflix show。 But the only people who will seek out this book are the ones who are already familiar with the show (which, it cannot be stressed enough The Catch-22 of Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory is this: the ideal reader for this collection of short stories is someone who has never seen BoJack Horseman, because this book serves as a great intro course to Raphael Bob-Waksberg's particular storytelling style, without ever reaching the incredible heights he achieved with his Netflix show。 But the only people who will seek out this book are the ones who are already familiar with the show (which, it cannot be stressed enough, is a cartoon about a talking horse that will make you cry real actual tears)。 So maybe there's a chance that this review pops up in the update feed of someone who has never seen the show, but has maybe heard of it, and needs a reason to dip their toe into Bob-Waksberg's writing。 If that's the case, and it managed to find you, I encourage you to give this a shot。 Some of the stories are silly, some are sad, and some manage to come close to something truly heart-shattering。 And then you can go watch BoJack Horseman。Here, have an overly-long excerpt from "You Want to Know What Plays Are Like?", which I absolutely read in Will Arnett's voice before I realized the speaker was a woman:"Here is my impression of a play:Okay, so first you gotta imagine it's a hotel room, right? Just a normal, boring-looking hotel room, on the nice end of things, as far as hotel rooms go。 And the audience is coming in, and they're taking their seats in this dinky little theater in lower Manhattan, barely bigger than a Winnebago, this theater with seats that feel like someone just glued down some thin fabric over a block of hard metal。 The main thing of a theater - like the whole point of it - is that there's going to be a lot of sitting in it, so you'd think they would at least consider investing in some comfortable chairs。 Word to the wise: if they can't even get that part right, which absolutely most of the time they cannot, then buckle the fuck up, because I can tell you right now you are in for an ordeal of an evening。。。。So then the play starts and the first thing that happens is two ladies burst into the hotel room, one after another。 These ladies are supposed to be sisters, probably, because when plays aren't about hookers, ninety percent of the time they're about sisters。 But, of course, because it's a play, these sisters look nothing alike。 For starters, one of them's like fifty and the other one's like twenty, because apparently when you're hiring people for plays, it's impossible to find two women who are about the same age。The older one goes right for the minifridge and pulls out a bottle of white wine, even though since it's a play, the white wine is actually water, if there's even something in the bottle at all, which - spoiler alert for all plays - there probably isn't。 The younger lady kicks off her shoes and jumps onto the bed。 And they start talking in that very fast, stutter-y I'm-a-character-in-a-play way that guys who write plays think is naturalistic, even though nobody actually talks that way except for people who just tried cocaine for the first time。" 。。。more

This book was written by the creator of Bojack Horsemen。 I would highly recommend this if you enjoy the show。 It has the heart of the show。 It is funny and weird but weird in a way that it is still real。 Not all stories hit。 Some of them I was smiling the whole time that I was listening。 Some were good but not as good。

Instead, you survived - apparently, you both did - and things are shockingly okay。”“There are two kinds of people, he thought: the people you don’t want to touch because you’re afraid you’re going to break them, and the people you don’t want to touch because you’re afraid they’ll break you。”“You deserve someone who will love you in all your damaged glory。”“And when the Sadness catches up, tracks you down—when you return home one day, arms full of groceries, to find the Sadness sitting at the kitchen table, casually reading a paper as if it never left, eating a muffin as if this were all perfectly natural—when the Sadness looks up at you and says, “What did you think, buddy? What did you think was going to happen?”—when the Sadness smirks at you and says with a wry insistence that unravels you in an instant, “This is the real love story here, buddy, you and me”—when the Sadness reiterates that, sure, certain smaller sadnesses dull, but this Sadness, the Sadness, has seen you through it all; this Sadness, the Sadness, has never strayed from your side, not really, and why would you want it to now, this epitome of stability in an inconsistent world?—when that happens, you can put your groceries down and walk back out the door and close the door behind you。”“Move across the country and hope the Sadness won’t find you, won’t follow you like a stray dog from coast to coast。 Hope the Sadness isn’t just a fog on a leash, shadowing you always。 Hope the Sadness can’t be as fleet as you are, hope the Sadness is more rooted。 Perhaps the Sadness has friends, a family, and can’t just pick up and go。 Look at all this stuff the Sadness has here in San Jose or Chapel Hill or wherever you’re currently leaving。 How’s the Sadness going to survive without all this stuff? Hope this isn’t one of those any-place-I-hang-my-hat-is-home-type situations where the Sadness hangs its hat on you。 Hope that you are not the Sadness’s home, anywhere you go, no matter how far, no matter how quickly—the Sadness lives in you。 Hope to God it’s not that。”“and the man now listed in your phone as “DO NOT CALL HIM” were ever so foolish as to refer to as “home。” 。。。more
