Allie Brosh Ticketed Event
September 26, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
$30For the first time in seven years, Allie Brosh — beloved author and artist of the extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller Hyperbole and a Half — returns with a new collection of comedic, autobiographical, and illustrated essays. Solutions and Other Problems (Gallery Books) includes humorous stories from Brosh’s childhood; the adventures of her very bad animals; merciless dissection of her own character flaws; incisive essays on grief, loneliness, and powerlessness; as well as reflections on the absurdity of modern life. Solutions and Other Problems, featuring all-new material, marks the return of a beloved American humorist who has “the observational skills of a scientist, the creativity of an artist, and the wit of a comedian” (Bill Gates). Brosh will be joined in conversation by a special guest.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Purchasing a preorder copy of Solutions and Other Problems ($30) entitles you to attend our virtual event with Brosh on Saturday, September 26, at 5pm (PT).
