A Boring Book - Seth McDonough

. .

Résumé :
Imagine the world's most dull character with the heart of a protagonist. A Boring Book is a romantic comedy of manners featuring low-charisma John Smith who enjoys observing and trying to help fellow earthlings who don't necessarily realize he's there. Set to the tune of conversations of which John is not always a part, A Boring Book stars many flavours of personality and social foibles from the delightful to the spiteful. While the book is a grand teaser of humans, the tone of the tale is fun and hopeful as it seeks to keep its readers company as they are impeded in their own lives by their own collection of silly fellow travelers.

Biographie:
The author of A Boring Book, Seth McDonough, claims his teasing characterizations of human foibles are a tribute to his favourite comedic describers of people, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde. But, if any could-be reader of this novel finds such a pronouncement to be a smidge self-aggrandizing, the author notes that his previous book, How to Cure Yourself of Narcissism, makes him an expert on the subject of egotists; and he says he's quite confident he's not one, himself.
