Little Things: A Memoir in Slices [Paperback]

A collection of funny, poignant, and autobiographical short stories,Little Thingslooks at the aspects of daily life -- friendship, illness, death, work, crushes, love, jealousy, and fatherhood -- we take for granted.As each story loops into others, Jeffrey Brown shows how the smallest andseemingly most insignificant parts of everyday life can end up becoming the most meaningful. Brown's first full-length autobiographical book in several years,Little Thingsis also his most impressive, touching, and true.Jeffrey Brown is the critically acclaimed author of Clumsy, Unlikely, AEIOU, I Am Going to be Small, Bighead, and Little Things. He has been featured in Best American Comics, McSweeney's, and Mome, as well as on This American Life.  Jeffrey Brown is one of my favorite graphic memoirists. And one of the funniest. Each book is like another glimpse into one of the best diaries anyone anywhere is keeping.

-- Glen David Gold, author ofCarter Beats the Devil If I were Pippi Longstocking, Jeffrey Brown'sLittle Thingsis exactly the sort of treasure I'd plant in a hollow tree, as a day-making gift for a stranger, a friend, or anyone who needs convincing that there's magic in the mundane.
