A double.\" --Caitlin Moran\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoel Golby's writing for \u003ci\u003eVice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian,\u003c\/i\u003e with its wry observation and naked self-reflection, has brought him a wide and devoted following. Now, in his first book, he presents a blistering collection of new and newly expanded essays--including the achingly funny viral hit \"Things You Only Know When Both Your Parents Are Dead.\" In these pages, he travels to Saudi Arabia, where he acts as a perplexed bystander at a camel pageant; offers a survival guide for the modern dinner party (i.e. how to tactfully escape at the first sign of an adult board game); and gets pitted head-to-head, again and again, with an unpredictable, unpitying subspecies of Londoner: the landlord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough it all, he shows that no matter how cruel the misfortune, how absurd the circumstance, there's always the soft punch of a lesson tucked within. This is a book for anyone who overshares, overthinks, has ever felt lost or confused--and who wants to have a good laugh about it.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49330653495600,"sku":"BDcuq5","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/526937-cuq5-Square.jpg?v=1733788354","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cuq5","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
