If you are feeling like you’re missing new episodes of BoJack Horseman in your life or if you’re looking for stories about love, warts and all (figuratively and kind of literally), then you’ll want to go and pick up Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s latest work, a collection of short stories gloriously entitled Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory: Stories.

Once again, the BoJack Horseman creator balances emotional complexity in magically real, ridiculous scenarios such as trying to break tradition in planning a pagan wedding to beautifully comic effect in a handful of love stories (well, the sort of dark-tragically comedic love story that is Bob-Waksberg’s bread and butter).

So, go get Someone Who Will Love You In All Your Damaged Glory: Stories, available in hardcover, on Kindle, and as an audiobook now.

It would be hard to imagine that a collection of short stories from the mind of the one ever-gregarious Tom Hanks wouldn’t have a bit of humor of in it, if not a whole row of funny stories.

Not that there is any evidence that he’d write about such experiences as taking a picture with a fan who pretended to be passed out at a diner or perhaps a first person account from the point-of-view of Wilson, but that wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility, considering how obsessed with the magic of typing on vintage typewriters.

He is setting to write an entire book of short stories soon and we’ll see exactly what Hanks has coming through that typewriter ribbon.

It’s now available and you should pick it up in hardcover and/or in audiobook, which, if you’ve heard this story of Novak’s prank at a museum as a kid, should be more enticing.
