Summary
Dating Tips for the Unemployed
One of The Believer's Best Books of the Year: One woman's journey "[flailing] at art, love, and friendship" with absurd yet improbably poignant results. (O, The Oprah Magazine) In twenty-four absurd, lyrical, and louche episodes, "Iris Smyles" weaves a modern odyssey of trying to find one's home in the world amid the pitfalls and insidious traps of adult life. A wickedly funny picaresque touching on quantum physics, the Donner Party, arctic exploration, Greek mythology, Rocky I, II, V, IV, VI, and III respectively, and literary immortality, Dating Tips for the Unemployed is a wistful if wry ode to that awkward age--between birth and death--when you think you know what you want but aren't quite sure what you're doing.
