À propos de cet audio

In his debut collection of personal essays, Emmy-nominated screenwriter Michael Jamin (King of the Hill, Just Shoot Me, Beavis and Butt-Head, Wilfred, Maron, Rules of Engagement, Tacoma FD) recounts the true stories of a sensitive, anxious man searching for the things that are most important: identity, love, forgiveness, and redemption.

A cross between David Sedaris and Neil Simon, Michael discovers his unlikeliest moments of growth: he fakes his way onto a college-football team to experience a moment of grace; gets caught lying during a Hollywood power meeting; takes advantage of the pandemic lockdown to repair his relationship with his daughters, breaks up with a woman because she can’t stop saying “just kidding.”

Audaciously funny yet achingly poignant, A Paper Orchestra will have you rethinking the smallest, almost forgotten moments of your life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Fantastic… It’s multi-timbral. It runs all levels of the pyramid at the same time. His knockout punches are stinging sincerity.”—John Mayer

"Those who appreciate the power of simple stories to tell us about human nature… or who are bewitched by a storyteller who has mastered his craft, will find a delightful collection of vignettes.… A lovely anthology that strikes a perfect balance between humor and poignancy.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Keen, hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking insights from an astute and twisted observer of everyday life.”—Steven Levitan, co-creator, Modern Family; creator, Just Shoot Me

A let-down

This book is a bit of a misfire. I can't shake the feeling that the writer really had a bunch of ideas from his life that he thought would make a good tv show. He went in and pitched the idea to a studio, and was turned down because he was pitching "The Goldbergs", and it's already been done.

I made it about two and a half hours in and then couldn't face the idea of continuing. There are a couple legitimately funny moments in this, and some of the ideas would have worked well as episodic television. It doesn't work well in essay format.

The narration is lackluster and feels like a forced performance.
