About
This collection of Peter Hyman's musings, more pop cultural than philosophical, range from the heartfelt to the absurd, whether he's describing the scotch-soaked grief of a bad breakup or his unfortunate decision to undergo a Brazilian bikini wax.

Reviews
"Hyman comes off as an everyman probing the outer edges of modern, mainstream, urban existence, and his essays recount his exploits with startling, often hilarious results."
Publishers Weekly
"A stand-up comedian, [Hyman] is the perfect reader for his stories of a smart man who puts himself in stupid situations, here and abroad. His voice is deep, almost harsh, yet precise and ironic."

"He writes about being unemployed, computer dating, Brazilian bikini waxes, leather pants, metrosexuality in general, and how to blow up a relationship with someone you love. His genuine sense of loss over this last part informs much of the book and makes the title worthy of a purchase; for larger public libraries."
