Summary

This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritativeâÈ' like maybe someone who isnâÈçt me wrote itâÈ'but I soon discovered that IâÈçm not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly.

So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book:

Pictures
Words
Stories about things that happened to me
Stories about things that happened to other people because of me
Eight billion dollars*
Stories about dogs
The secret to eternal happiness*

*These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

From the publisher

A #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated memoir, this "funny and smart as hell" (Bill Gates) collection captures everyday life, mental health, and human absurdity through deceptively simple drawings and razor-sharp wit.

Every time Allie Brosh posted a new piece on her beloved blog Hyperbole and a Half, the internet erupted--and now her breakout book brings that voice to the page in full color. Featuring new content, this expanded edition includes ten never-before-seen essays, a fully revised and expanded piece, and fan favorites such as "The God of Cake," "Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving," and the groundbreaking essays "Adventures in Depression" and "Depression Part Two," widely praised for their honesty and insight.

With minimalist illustrations and brutally funny observations, Brosh explores dogs, cake, growing up, emotional chaos, and the strange logic of the human mind. Her work manages to be laugh-out-loud hilarious while also offering one of the most relatable and accessible portrayals of depression ever written.

Funny, smart, and emotionally resonant, this illustrated essay collection launched Allie Brosh as a major voice in American humor and remains a defining work of contemporary humor.
