From an award-winning playwright "who splits the difference between
David Rakoff and Larry David" (New York magazine)--a "compulsively
readable debut" (Time Out New York) of big-hearted,
laugh-until-you-can't-breathe essays, stories, and riffs on finding
love and intimacy in New York City. Since moving to New York a
decade ago, award-winning writer and performer Isaac Oliver has
pined for countless strangers on the subway, slept with half the
people in his Washington Heights neighborhood, and observed the
best and worst of humanity from behind the glass of a Times Square
theater box office. Whether he's hooking up with a man who dresses
as a dolphin, suffering on airplanes and buses next to people with
Food From Home, or hovering around an impenetrable circle of
attractive people at a cocktail party, Oliver captures the messy,
moving, and absurd moments of urban life as we live it today. In
this uproariously funny debut collection, he serves up a comedic
cornucopia of sketches, vignettes, lists, and diaries from his life
as a young, fanciful, and extremely single gay man in New York
City. "Oliver has mastered the art of self-deprecation...he can
find humor and heart in the unlikeliest of places," raves
Entertainment Weekly. Culled from years of heartbreak, hook-ups,
and more awkwardness than a virgin at prom and a whore in church
(and he should know because he's been both), Intimacy Idiot
chronicles Oliver's encounters with love, infatuation, resilience,
and self-acceptance that echo our universal desire for intimacy of
all kinds.
