Book description
Love is really, really difficult. And it's even harder if you're the
last woman on earth. The sketches in Simon Rich's new book are bizarre,
funny, and even familiar. Exploring love's many complications and
mortifications - losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it -
Rich turns the ordinary into the absurd. From the invisible man's
compulsion to stalk his ex, Sherlock Holmes' only blind spot and how
Darwin really formed his theory of evolution, The Last Girlfriend on
Earth takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the
rollercoaster of love. Praise for What In God's Name: 'Like Douglas
Adams in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Rich drags heaven down to
Earth ... owes much to The Simpsons and to Terry Pratchett and Neil
Gaiman's Good Omens' New York Times 'Hilarious and touching ...
obviously Rich is crazy good at hysterical sharp dialogue ... What In
God's Name reads like a screenplay for a film that might sit comfortably
beside Woody Allen's early absurd works in a Netflix queue ... a clever,
endearing novel' Entertainment Weekly 'Divinely funny' Vanity Fair
