Davy Rothbart
Davy Rothbart is looking for love in all the wrong places. Constantly. He falls helplessly in love with pretty much every girl he meetsâ€”and rarely is the feeling reciprocated. Time after time, he hops in a car and tears across half of America with his heart on his sleeve. Heâ€™s continually coming up with outrageous schemes, which he always manages to pull off. Well, almost always. But even when things donâ€™t work out, Rothbart finds meaning and humor in every moment. Whether itâ€™s humiliating a scammer who takes money from aspiring writers or playing harmless (but side-splitting) goofs on his deaf mother, nothing and no one is off-limits.,But as much as Rothbart is a tragically lovable, irresistibly brokenhearted hero, itâ€™s his prose thatâ€™s the star of the book. In the tradition of David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley but going places very much his own, his essays show how things that are seemingly so wrong can be so, so right.
