Hyperbole and a Half
Author: Allie Brosh
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451666187
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Harry Vos, a retired man in his 60’s and a part-time private investigator, is on holiday on the Belgian coast. When he takes an early morning stroll along the local beach he and a woman walking her dog are shocked to discover a body washed up on the shore. Unable to get a signal on his phone Harry hurries to a bar on the other side of the sand dunes, to call the police. By the time he returns to the beach, he finds the body, the woman and the dog have all disappeared. When the police arrive, they suspect he is a time-waster and take him in for questioning. They refuse to believe his story about a body, but he is finally released and returns to the beach to try and work out what happened. Half-buried in the sand he finds an amulet with an inscription in a foreign language. Knowing the police will not be investigating, he decides to take on the case as a personal mission. Using the amulet as his starting point, he aims to find out who the man is, how he died and how he came to be on the beach. The case takes him into the murky and dangerous world of people-smuggling. Working with Katerine, an academic who specialises in West African artefacts and members of the Congolese community in Brussels, he begins to find some answers to his questions, but all the time he is moving closer and closer to danger. This comes to a head in his confrontations with Rodenbach, a smuggler and the sinister Hendrickx.
