Everything Is Awful and You're a Terrible Person
Everything Is Awful and You're a Terrible Person | Daniel Zomparelli
3 posts | 2 read | 15 to read
In these unconventional, interconnected stories of first-person narratives that also include text messages and Facebook posts, gay men look for love, steal office supplies, hook up on Grindr, bake pies, see therapists, have threesomes with ghosts, and fear happiness. With wry abandon and a beguiling heart, Everything Is Awful and You're a Terrible Person is a deadpan, tragicomic exploration of love, desire, and dysfunction in the twenty-first century.Daniel Zomparelli is editor and founder of Poetry Is Dead magazine, and the author of the poetry collections Davie Street Translations and (with Dina Del Bucchia) Rom Com. This is his first work of fiction.

Pickpick

Daniel Zomparelli co-hosts a #CanLit podcast (Can't Lit) I listen to regularly. I picked this up without any real familiarity with his work outside of enjoying his podcast. This book of stories, dealing largely with modern gay dating in the age of social media, disguises its empathy in apathy and is very recognizably written by a poet. I have very little else to say but: pick pick pick, as my heart has already liked, faved, and shared this book.
