We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby

'Irby might be our great bard of quarantine.' New York Times

In this painfully funny collection, Samantha Irby captures powerful emotional truths while chronicling the rubbish bin she calls her life. From an ill-fated pilgrimage to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes, to awkward sexual encounters, to the world's first completely honest job application, and more, sometimes you just have to laugh, even when your life is permanently pear-shaped.

As close to perfect as an essay collection can get.' Roxane Gay

'Hilarious. I love it.' Candice Carty-Williams

'Samantha Irby is stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny.' Jia Tolentino
