ultimately, I found myself wanting more masturbation jokes and fewer graphs made from demographic data. So let me set expectations for you right here and now: Modern Romance is not a comedy book. Which, I think, is a respectable thing to brag about.īut if you pick this up expecting a hilarious couple hundred pages of Tom Haverford from Parks and Recreation riffing on the problems of dating and relationships in this modern age, you will be wickedly disappointed. There's more hot focus group action in this thing than you'd believe, fewer jokes about masturbation than you'd expect (but not, you know, none) and more Photoshopped pictures of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson than any book being put out by a major publishing house this year. A sociological study writ large, and dressed in a very dapper suit. And with his new book, Modern Romance, he finally gets his shot at living the dream. And that all comedians want to become data analysts. That all babies want to grow up to be cowboys. That all journalists dream of being novelists. They say that all actors really want to direct. How?Įditor's note: There is some adult language in this piece that some readers may find offensive.
