With self-effacing charm, wit, and brutal honesty, essayist and scholar Susannah B. Mintz shares the ups and downs of middle-aged dating in Match Dot Comedy, a poignant and often hilarious memoir that takes a long, hard look at why the wrong relationships so often lead to the right one.
Mintz, whose journey begins ironically on Valentine's Day, chronicles the slapstick parade of men that come in and out of her life on her quest for love, and speaks candidly about the one obstacle that most often stood in her way: herself. Full of razor-sharp truths about life and relationships, Match Dot Comedy will appeal to anyone who has put their heart on the line in the name of love, and anyone waiting for a good reason to do so.
