A #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated memoir, this “funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates) collection captures everyday life, mental health, and human absurdity through deceptively simple drawings and razor-sharp wit.
"A book I cannot read without breaking into tears of hilarity." —Daniel Kraus, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Angel Down
Every time Allie Brosh posted a new piece on her beloved blog Hyperbole and a Half, the internet erupted—and now her breakout book brings that voice to the page in full color. Featuring new content, this expanded edition includes ten never-before-seen essays, a fully revised and expanded piece, and fan favorites such as “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and the groundbreaking essays “Adventures in Depression” and “Depression Part Two,” widely praised for their honesty and insight.
With minimalist illustrations and brutally funny observations, Brosh explores dogs, cake, growing up, emotional chaos, and the strange logic of the human mind. Her work manages to be laugh-out-loud hilarious while also offering one of the most relatable and accessible portrayals of depression ever written.
Funny, smart, and emotionally resonant, this illustrated essay collection launched Allie Brosh as a major voice in American humor and remains a defining work of contemporary humor.
