Areas of My Expertise

If you've seen Hodgman on the Daily Show, you'll love this book. Hodgman's incredibly funny deadpan style is in fine form here---you can almost hear his voice as you read. If you've ever wanted to know about America's Hobo Wars, who invented shame, or the fifty basic narrative situations, this is the book for you.

A lovely book that slowly unfolds to reveal how its love story, its starving lovesick maidens, its ghosts all speak to the theme of the value of women's voices.

This is a beautiful book, deeply human. All the characters yearn, and we yearn with them. I didn't want it to end.
