Raphael Bob-Waksberg: 'Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory' Book Conversation
From the event description:
Skylight Books presents Raphael Bob-Waksberg with his new book 'Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory' in conversation with Kara Brown. From the creator and executive producer of the beloved and universally acclaimed television series 'BoJack Horseman,' a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about love — the best and worst thing in the universe. Written with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of 'BoJack Horseman,' Raphael Bob-Waksberg's stories will make readers laugh, weep and shiver in uncomfortably delicious recognition. The resulting collection is a punchy, perfect bloody valentine. Kara Brown is a writer, speaker and co-host of Crooked Media's pop culture podcast, 'Keep It!'.
When: Friday, June 21, 8-11 p.m.
Where: Dynasty Typewriter at The Hayworth, 2511 Wilshire Blvd.
