Man Seeking Woman

And Other Love Stories

By: Simon Rich

Narrated by: Simon Rich

Love can be messy, painful, and even tragic. When seen through the eyes of Simon Rich it can also be hilarious.

In these ingenious stories, Rich conjures up some unforgettable romances: an unused prophylactic describes life inside a teenage boy's wallet; God juggles the demands of his needy girlfriend with the looming deadline for earth's creation; and a lovestruck Sherlock Holmes ignores all the clues that his girlfriend's been cheating on him.

As enchanting, sweet, and absurd as love itself, these stories are an irresistible collection of delights.

"No matter how zany things get, there's an endearing simplicity at the heart of these inventive tales . . . love doesn't always conquer all, but these stories suggest Rich thinks its certainly ought to." -- Daily Beast

Doesn't take much

The book is very creative, but reading/hearing this book gives you the idea that life can be one be joke if u want to look at it that way. There is nothing outlandish fun in this book, but the absurdity/scenarios that are in this book is what makes it great.

A fun and quirky read

Any additional comments?

This book will take you in some strange directions but is really fun the whole way. Insightful too.

Excellent fun!

A change of pace from the normal historical fiction I like to read.

Heard him on Savage podcast and thought it was an interesting premise for a book

Any additional comments?

Lots of fun and I love when the author reads the book, it adds so much more personality to the book. Great book and great reader/author!!

Hilarious absurd stories you can relate to.

My coworker keeps wondering why I'm walking around laughing so much.

Because of this book!

Laughed out loud more than once

So, I loved some stories more than others...over all I found it fun & entertaining.

Hysterical; incredibly clever

I loved every story and can’t wait to see the play on Broadway - with John Mulaney!

Giggled full way through

Very giggly. So giggly. Mad giggles. Yeehee! Giggles to the max. Can’t stop the giggles.

Hilarious

An awkwardly funny story that plays like a sketch tv show.
I’ve replayed this multiple times while stuck in traffic.

Love his stories but so misogynistic

Can’t get through half the stories without changing the chapter. The objects have more personality than the women he writes
