Thumbnail Description:
In this stellar collection of stories about men who've been
dumped, the Emmy® Award-winning, former executive producer of
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report
proves why New York Magazine says: "If you've laughed in
the last 10 years, Ben Karlin was responsible."
Book Description:
The Emmy award-winning former executive producer of The Daily
Show and The Colbert Report has assembled a stellar
lineup of men who have one thing in common: all have been
dumped... and are willing to share their pain and the lessons
learned. Relationships end. And in almost all of them, even the
most callow among us take something away. This is a book about
that something, whether it be major life lessons, like "If you
lie, you will get caught," simple truths like, "Flowers work,"
or something wholly unique like, "Watch out for the high strung
brother in the military.” This anthology will be comprised of
longer and shorter pieces, drawn from an array of impressive
celebrities, writers and public figures. Some pieces may be a
paragraph in length while others will be full-blown essays. All
of them will be about that salient something men take away from
a failed relationship. Yes, men learn. This is not a
touchy-feely book. This is not a self-help book. This is a book
packed with smart, funny and insightful stories from men you
probably thought never got dumped, or if they did, would never
admit it.
