Simon Rich narrates his collection of irreverent stories about love and the human condition with a myriad of voices. However, it is his restrained, almost deadpan, delivery that highlights the eccentric, obscure, and bizarre truths of the stories, as heard in the one featuring classified ads placed by . . . dogs. No person, place, or obsession is off-limits in these stories about relationships with Hitler, Mother Teresa, and God or parodies on Occupy Wall Street, blind dates with trolls, or sex in the time of cavemen. Rich’s narrating skills complement the tongue-in-cheek tone of his comical stories with varied modulations, good pacing, and well-timed pauses and setups for punch lines.
