Dating Tips for the Unemployed by Iris Smyles

Praise for Dating Tips for the Unemployed

Structured in small episodes like Homer s Odyssey, Smyles s adventuress calls to mind a Jane Bowles heroine who s read Ulysses while scrolling in despair through ten open apps on her iPhone. Smyles s portrayal of Iris in all her weirdness offers much to recognize, fear, and embrace. Kirkus Reviews


Similar to Tolstoy s War and Peace, but much funnier and shorter. Martin Mull

My favorite writer. Tom McCarthy

I love this book. But I wish there were more dogs in it. Patricia Marx

There are two kinds of people in this world, those without peanut allergies and those who cannot tolerate peanuts or any food produced or packaged in a facility that processes peanuts. Both will love this book. Andrea Martin

I didn t read this book and I didn t have to. On the cover, it said IRIS SMYLES and that s more than enough for me. Like logos for Coca-Cola, Fritos, and Entenmann s, Iris s name assures me that what s inside.is so yummy. Alec Baldwin*

*Alec Baldwin was paid for this endorsement.
