One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories by B.J. Novak

Review: Crude, offbeat, imaginative. B.J. Novak, writer & actor for The Office, has released a collection of original short stories developed from a series of public readings. The stories range from less than a page to maybe 20 pages. They each have a unique flavor and many exude a dark sense of humor. I appreciated the fact that little details from previous stories come back in subsequent ones if you are paying close enough attention and while I didn’t laugh out loud, I did find some of them quite humorous. I particularly liked “The Something by John Grisham,” “The Girl Who Gave Great Advice,” and “If I Had a Nickel.”
