59:16Now PlayingRaphael Bob Waksberg discusses his book, "Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory", at Politics and Prose.
n his debut collection of stories, the creator and executive producer of the hit show BoJack Horseman—named by Thrillist magazine Netflix’s best original show ever—applies his distinctive dark humor to the mysteries of love. Combining romance, whimsy, and sharp cultural commentary, Bob-Waksberg plunges into the world of lonely commuters looking for—and failing to find—connections; follows a couple whose wedding plans founder on their relatives’ argument over how many goats to sacrifice; and maps a woman’s history of romantic failure by the sites she visited with her exes. Quirky and surreal, these pieces are as wryly insightful as they are hilariously entertaining.
RAPHAEL BOB-WAKSBERG is the creator and executive producer of the Netflix series BoJack Horseman. This is his first book.
