From
actress, comedian, musician, and writer Charlyne Yi comes this collection of
illustrated, interconnected short stories and anecdotes that blends comedy,
fantastic adventures, and a storm of
feelings that will make you want to laugh and cry at the same
time—reminiscent of the works of Demetri Martin, Shel Silverstein and John
Cassavetes.
Charlyne Yi
takes readers from the beginning of time to the depths of a frog’s stomach, and
to Hell and back—literally—in this collection of short stories that showcases
her unique style.
Equal parts
whimsical, hilarious, heartbreaking, and terrifying, these short stories—both
written and illustrated by Charlyne—can be read separately, but are connected
thematically following the difficulties of love at every age:
Forgive Me:
What happens when the tiniest boy of all time is the only thing standing
between the world’s largest baby and an angry mob? Who could ever love
something so small? Or so big?
The
Particles: A love story that takes all the time in the universe to tell.
She’s All
Legs: In this spicy, action-packed romance, Agatha, a woman who is literally
just legs and a head, decides to hunt down and kill the Devil himself. Along
the way she meets Cassady, an Elvis impersonator with his own, mysterious gripe
with the Dark Lord.
Short,
one-page anecdotes, poems, reflections, and imagery are also included.
Strange,
heartfelt, and wonderful, Oh the Moon shows you love in the way that only
Charlyne Yi’s brilliant, witty mind can.
