Summary:
"Hell hath no fury like an ex-Bible-Belter-turned-New-Yorker. To see the world through comedian and writer Zach Zimmerman's eyes is to be reminded of the many ways in which love, religion, family, sex, money-or often lack thereof-lay bare our most elemental and embarrassing humanness. From meditations on heartbreak to not-so-helpful how-tos, this laugh-and-cry-out-loud essay collection documents one man's navigation through queerness, climbing the corporate ladder, dating cryptocurrency-obsessed mansplainers, mourning the loss of religiosity, and all the minute, beautiful discoveries in between"-- Provided by publisher.
