“Choose Your Own Misery” at Porter Square Books

Porter Square Books welcomes Jilly Gagnon, author of CHOOSE YOUR OWN MISERY: THE OFFICE.

Hungover and stuck at a job you hate, will you show up for your big presentation, or duck out with Debby, the HR rep with an FDR fetish? Play the weird lump on your back for office-wide sympathy, or dive into an internet spiral that can only end in ten kinds of cancer?

From two comedy writers and former contributors to the Onion comes a parody of a choose-your-own-adventure tale the story of your soul-crushing existence. Having choices is great when you re a kid, but in the adult world, the only options are endless varieties of misery. It’s okay, though. A life of adventure would require so many uncomfortable sleeping situations. Besides, you have dental. Keep reminding yourself about the dental.

This talk is free and open to the public and will be followed by a book signing.
