“Utterly delightful” essays from the creator of the HBO’s Bored
to Death reveal intimate details of his life as a famously neurotic
New York writer (Brendan Halpin, Los Angeles Times). Jonathan Ames
has drawn comparisons across the literary spectrum, from David Sedaris
to F. Scott Fitzgerald to P.G. Wodehouse, and his books, as well as
his abilities as a performer, have made him a favorite on the Late
Show with David Letterman. Whether he’s chasing deranged cockroaches
around his apartment, kissing a beautiful actress on the set of an
avant-garde film, finding himself stuck perilously on top of a fence
in the middle of the night in Memphis, or provoking fights with huge
German men, Jonathan Ames has an uncanny knack for getting himself
into outlandish situations. In I Love You More Than You Know, Ames
once again turns his own adventures, neuroses, joys, heartaches, and
insights into profound and hilarious tales. Alive with love and
tenderness for his son, his parents, his great-aunt—and even
strangers in bars—Ames looks beneath the surface of our world to
find the beauty in the perverse, the sweetness in loneliness, and the
humor in pain in essays that are “both poignant and silly—an
irresistible mix” (John Dicker, Philadelphia Weekly).
