The Rising Tide (Demo)

From the creator of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series&#160;BoJack Horseman, a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love&mdash;the best and worst thing in the universe. &ldquo;Complex, daring, emotional, and unique, with notes of melancholic brilliance and an aftertaste of subtle elation: it is hard to describe the writing of Raphael Bob-Waksberg without sounding like Frasier discussing wine.&rdquo; &mdash;B. J. Novak, author of&#160;One More Thing Written with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of BoJack Horseman, Raphael Bob-Waksberg&rsquo;s stories will make you laugh, weep, and shiver in uncomfortably delicious recognition. In &ldquo;A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion,&rdquo; a young couple engaged to be married is forced to deal with interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of ritual goat sacrifices for their wedding. &ldquo;Missed Connection&mdash;m4w&rdquo; is the tragicomic tale of a pair of lonely commuters eternally failing to make that longed-for contact. And in &ldquo;More of the You That You Already Are,&rdquo; a struggling employee at a theme park of dead presidents finds that love can&rsquo;t be genetically modified. Equally at home with the surreal and the painfully relatable (and both at once), Bob-Waksberg delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy, cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.
