ALLIE BROSH presents HYPERBOLE AND A HALF

Hyperbole and A Half (Simon and Schuster)

Skylight Books is excited, stoked, and over-the-moon ecstatic to be hosting Allie Brosh, creator of the award-winning blog "Hyperbole and a Half."

Never heard of "Hyperbole and A Half" and the book it spawned? Let Allie tell you about it.

"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!
