商品簡介
By the popular Vice contributor, a collection of full-throated appreciations, withering assessments, and hard-won lessons.
Joel Golby's columns for Vice have been read by millions, offering a voice that's distinctive both for its wry observation and its naked self-reflection. Now, with his first book, he presents a collection of blistering and original new essays. In it, he travels to Saudi Arabia, where he acts as a perplexed bystander to a sort of Westminster Dog Show--for camels. He examines his relationship with alcohol, an on-and-off-again struggle he thinks of as running alongside the wagon. And he gets pitted head to head, again and again, with an unpredictable, unpitying subspecies of Londoner: the landlord.
Through it all, he shows that no matter how cruel the misfortune, how absurd the circumstance, there's always the soft punch of a lesson tucked within. Featuring new and newly expanded essays--including the achingly funny viral hit "Things You Only Know When Both Your Parents Are Dead"--it is a book for anyone who has ever felt lost and confused, and who wants to have a good laugh about it.
