Description

From an award-winning playwright ';who splits the difference between David Rakoff and Larry David' (New York magazine)a ';compulsively readable debut' (Time Out New York) of big-hearted, laugh-until-you-can't-breathe essays, stories, and riffs on finding love and intimacy in New York City.

Since moving to New York a decade ago, award-winning writer and performer Isaac Oliver has pined for countless strangers on the subway, slept with half the people in his Washington Heights neighborhood, and observed the best and worst of humanity from behind the glass of a Times Square theater box office. Whether hes hooking up with a man who dresses as a dolphin, suffering on airplanes and buses next to people with Food From Home, or hovering around an impenetrable circle of attractive people at a cocktail party, Oliver captures the messy, moving, and absurd moments of urban life as we live it today. In this uproariously funny debut collection, he serves up a comedic cornucopia of sketches, vignettes, lists, and diaries from his life as a young, fanciful, and extremely single gay man in New York City.

Oliver has mastered the art of self-deprecation...he can find humor and heart in the unlikeliest of places, raves Entertainment Weekly. Culled from years of heartbreak, hook-ups, and more awkwardness than a virgin at prom and a whore in church (and he should know because hes been both), Intimacy Idiot chronicles Olivers encounters with love, infatuation, resilience, and self-acceptance that echo our universal desire for intimacy of all kinds.
