You Want to Know What Plays Are Like? – my other favorite, this blurs together expectations about theater and how difficult parts of family history can’t be escaped, in art or in real life Read by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Baron Vaughn, James Urbaniak, Kimiko Glenn, Colman Domingo, Natalie Morales, Raúl Esparza, Will Brill, Stephanie Beatriz, Emma Galvin and Nicholas Gonzalez And I imagined that if I were in some other, better universe, there'd be someone who could tell me, it's okay, or you'll get 'em next time, tiger. Someone would tell me that all the stupid things I'd done, all my mistakes, they didn't matter. This someone would say that, no matter what, she was proud of me, that I filled her heart with warmth, and that that's really the most you could hope for in life - to just for an instant make somebody else just a little bit happier. She would tell me that - guess what, - everything was going to be all right.” I try to counter that a little bit in my work or suggest that, no, you cannot depend on a person to make you happy. A person can be a part of that and should be. If a person is making you unhappy, that is a bad situation. But I don’t want to suggest the problem is just that you need to find a better person.In “Salted Circus Cashews, Swear to God,” a woman goes on a first date with a man. The date goes well, but then the man gives the woman a can of cashews. The long label on the can makes many unconvincing claims that it is not actually a prank filled with spring-loaded rubber snakes. The Average of All Possible Things – when an average girl with an average life and an average job has a rough breakup, but admitting things aren’t quite average is a little too hard You took Alex to the Bronx Zoo once—or was it Anthony?—to see if the primates might make some magic for you, but the Monkey House was gone.

In “We Men of Science,” a scientist named Yoni opens a door to an alternate dimension. He falls in love with a woman in the alternate dimension, but he feels that he should not act on this attraction, as Yoni is married and his wife is pregnant. In “Lies We Told Each Other (a partial list),” the story recounts lies told between two members of a dysfunctional relationship. another little bitty comedic interlude of a story. it’s that thing when you’re meeting someone for dinner but you’re hungry NOW and you shove whatever’s handy into your face to tide you over and it’s not that you don’t enjoy the eating of it but you’re really ready for dinner to happen. Bob-Waksberg: Guilt? Well, I mean, I’m Jewish. [ Laughs] As is the character in that story, actually. I think he’s the only explicitly Jewish character in the book, and he’s the most guilty.The truth was Lucinda never even wanted to work there in the first place; she just kind of fell into the position, the same way she seemed to always just kind of fall into everything. A person as unexceptional as Lucinda doesn't live a life as much as a life just floods in around her, filling up whatever empty space a life should be occupying.

Sometimes you imagine DO NOT CALL HIM also not going there. You picture the two of you both not going there at the same time and not meeting each other outside on the sidewalk; you not taking the opportunity to tell him all the ways he wronged you, not explaining that even though you were over it now—so, so over it—you just wanted to make sure he didn’t try that shit again with the next girl, for her sake. The "dazzling, exhilarating" ( San Francisco Chronicle) debut novel from one of this century's most groundbreaking writers I loved Mutt, in that way that you love something when you’re at a place in your life when you’re ready to love something and there’s a thing there that you can love.” Salted Circus Cashews, Swear to God – a short but oddly brilliant reflection on the difficulty and complexity of trusting someone when entering a new relationship…told through the metaphor of a can of cashews that may or may not have a spring-snake-toy inside. This was a perfect start to the collection and basically dissolved any uncertainty I felt about whether this would be a good read.
