A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The Last Girlfriend on Earth had me giggling out loud' ELLE

'Laugh-out-loud funny. This collection will have you giggling / crying / squirming in recognition, and wondering what exactly Simon Rich has eaten to dream all this stuff up ... This collection pulls off the tough trick of being both heart-warming and hilarious it's a must-read if you ve ever so much as had a crush on someone' Heat

'Pithy, occasionally bonkers ... expect any weeping to be of the laughter-induced variety'Time Out

'A James Thurber for our times, in Borges' suit wearing Flann O'Brien s hat' BBC R3 The Verb

'It's brilliant: a kind of modern version of Woody Allen's Without Feathers for anyone who's been in love ... topsy-turvy imaginative, riotously funny, hugely insightful ... Rich has a wisdom about male-female interaction that most have to wait far, far longer than 28 years to gain.' 'There are many episodes to enjoy ... The scenarios are satisfyingly wide-ranging ... an irreverent pleasure.' Literary Review

'If you buy only one quirky, surreal collection of comedy short stories about relationships this year, make it Simon Rich's The Last Girlfriend on Earth ... an endlessly inventive, laugh-out-loud book ... telling and very humorous insights into the shortcomings and sensitivities of the male psyche ... this is a one-night stand you will definitely want to tell your friends about.' --Jewish Chronicle

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In "Center of the Universe," God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In "Magical Mr. Goat," a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become "more than friends." In "Unprotected," an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications-losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it-and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine's Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.
