One More Thing
288 pages; Knopf
Weepy sex robots, belligerent planetarium visitors and a warlord on a blind date are just a few of the bizarre creations in this surprisingly tender short-story collection. You'll laugh and you'll cry (mostly from laughter) at this sure-handed debut. Novak, formerly known as Mindy Kaling's main squeeze on The Office, must now be acknowledged as one of the funniest authors we've read all year.
