Hobbies You Enjoy: A Novelty - Paperback

by Brian Alan Ellis (Author)

Serving as a somewhat companion piece to such literary classics as Letters to Wendy's, Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts and one of those books of Chuck Norris facts, Hobbies You Enjoy is a heartbreaking yet comical character study highlighting a person's yearlong emotional unraveling through the work they resent, the family trauma they endure, the substances they abuse, the loneliness they embrace, and of course, the hobbies they enjoy.

"As witty and tongue-in-cheek as anything Ellis has ever done, but it comes from a much more personal and wounded place than the depression memes you can find online."-Dead End Follies

"...hilarious, and deep, and moving-a special thing."-The Paris Review

"Captures the absurdity of existence, balancing between comedy and tragedy, and ultimately leaves the reader with a sense of the profound loneliness that often underlies the most trivial moments of our lives."-Maudlin House
