Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices.
Touching, absurd, and darkly comic, Allie Brosh's highly anticipated book Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations.
This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written.
Brosh's debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to.
This is a book that I will continue to read over and over again, to give encouragement, hope, and laughter. It’s also something I often share. I am in love with this book.
While it is easy to assume the book will be all silly fun like the memes on her blog, this book is actually a raw exploration of Allie Brosh's anxiety and depression as she delved back into her troubled childhood and explore how depression can take over her life. An incredible book that captures what it means to be depressed.
