Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Love lost, found, and kicked around “It might be my imagination, but it seems like most people in the building tend to steer clear of me. I’m the one who gets the weird phone calls, the strange visitors, and disturbing mail.” “My last great love affair didn’t work out—many don’t, but maybe the next one might, and if not, maybe the one after that. There may not be someone for everyone; there may not be a God in heaven, or peace on earth either. But that doesn’t mean you just sit around at home, doing nothing.” Review:"Everyone should have a Michael Beaumier as their guide through that murkiest of underworlds, the search for love (or at the very least, companionship). So how lucky we all are now that I Know You're Out There is a book. Beaumier writes with wit, humor, a sorely tested patience coupled with a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do melancholy, and overarching menschiness. This is a lovely book." David Rakoff, author of Don’t Get Too Comfortable Review:"It's incredible that behind the personals at a weekly paper there existed this guardian angel, watching over the lonelyhearts and stepping in to help them find love. We put Michael Beaumier on our radio show because he knows how to tell a great story, and these — about what we do and don't get from love — anyone can relate to." Ira Glass, producer and host, This American Life Synopsis:Filled with wry humor and observant wit, I Know You're Out There is a bitterly funny examination of human relationships from the unique perspective of the editor of personal ads for the Chicago Reader. From daily dealings with his clients' oddball requests and wacky co-workers, Mike Beaumier comes to accept the fact that the desperate, the lonely, and the freakish are maybe not so different from you or me — or himself, for that matter. Synopsis:Filled with wry humor and observant wit, this collection offers a bitterly funny examination of human relationships from the unique perspective of the editor of personal ads for the Chicago Reader.
