About the book

A fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love—the best and worst thing in the universe—written by the creator of BoJack Horseman with his hallmark scathing dark humor

“Transcendent tragicomedy.... Prepare to be devastated and made whole again.” —The A.V. Club

Featuring:

• A young engaged couple forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding.

• A pair of lonely commuters who ride the subway in silence, forever, eternally failing to make that longed-for contact.

• A struggling employee at a theme park of U.S. presidents who discovers that love can’t be genetically modified.

And fifteen more tales of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.

    The date is going well. He’s handsome and charming, and everything he claimed to be on the website. She likes him, she decides. He’s the kind of guy you could introduce to your friends, she decides. After dinner, he invites her back to his place. He opens a bottle of wine and pours her a glass. He also offers her a tall, skinny can with a rubber lid: “Salted circus cashew?” “What’s circus cashew?” she asks. “Open it up,” he says. “See for yourself.” I got this book just when I needed it. I read it when I should have and well. It all loved me in all my damaged glory and maybe, just maybe gave me hope. ‘Salted Circus Cashews, Swear to God’ is what made me fall in love and for me the strongest. It will take a while for you to start digging the stories but once you get a hang of it, I swear nothing and nothing else is what you’ll desire to read! It’s brilliant, devastating, funny and just what all millennials need right now. Here is my boring review of a fantastic book! Please get yourself a copy, if not for me then for Bojack.

    Title and cover: 5/5 ⭐ contents unfortunately only 3/5 ⭐ (some stories were good, but most were just average and a big weird if you aren't used to Bob-Waksberg's humour)
