The strangest things happen to Paolo Mangahas, maybe because, by his own admission, he's a tad strange himself. There's the friend who used to chase his school bus and scream his name, or the strangers at parties who end up telling him their deep, dark secrets. Then again, this is the same fellow who can't abide by wrinkled sheets, who keeps the food on his plate separated by strict geographical borders, and yes, who actually wrote an entire essay on...saliva. Still, absurd as his musings may seem, there are always life lessons in there somewhere, and Mangahas finds and imparts them with warmth, and without the baggage of pontification or drama. In this book, Paolo Mangahas shares a collection of 18 wonderful essays-hilarious, candid, sharp, and totally engaging. But when all is said and done, the gems of insight offered up on life, love, and the human condition are precious beyond doubt.
