Sinossi

Three friends, one dog, and endless laughs on the River Thames.

Three Men in a Boat is Jerome K. Jerome's hilarious and enduring comic novel about three bumbling friends—J., George, and Harris—and their loyal fox terrier Montmorency, as they set out on a boating holiday that quickly turns into a series of ridiculous and unforgettable escapades.

Published in 1889, this quintessentially British farce blends dry wit, absurdity, and keen social observation. Whether fumbling with tents or philosophizing on the miseries of packing, Jerome's characters reflect universal human folly with charm and good humor.

This edition includes classic illustrations and annotations for modern readers, making it the perfect escape for lovers of humor, satire, and travel gone wonderfully wrong.

"Still as funny today as it was over a century ago." — The Guardian
"A comic masterpiece of the English language." — The Times Literary Supplement

    How the cat she never wanted taught her the lessons she never knew she needed. 
    It was not love at first sight for Jinx and Cynthia. The long-haired, dandruff-ridden creature wasn’t Cynthia’s dream for a new family pet. And Jinx was equally unimpressed with her. 
    Jinx’s arrival marked a dramatic turning point in Cynthia’s life. Soon after, she endured a devastating loss and battled grief, loneliness, and depression. Throughout the turmoil, Cynthia and Jinx progressed from sparring partners, to reluctant roommates, to friends. When Cynthia finally decided to take her life back, she brought Jinx along for the ride. 
    Side by side, they weathered all the excitement, disappointment, mishaps, and adventures that come with finding happiness and redefining your life. Through it all, Jinx was an unexpected source of comfort, affection, and valuable life lessons. Because sometimes the thing you most need shows up in the way you least expect.

    “There is so much at play in this wondrous novel. Vi, struggling to place herself in any context that makes sense within the world, earnestly leads us into a wild experiment, to turn a blob into the man of her dreams, and I was transfixed by her voice. This is a book that looks at identity and desire in profoundly interesting ways.”  — Kevin Wilson, bestselling author of Now Is Not the Time to Panic 
    A humorous and deeply moving debut novel in the vein of Bunny and Convenience Store Woman about a young woman who tries to shape a sentient blob into her perfect boyfriend. 
    The daughter of a Taiwanese father and white mother, Vi Liu has never quite fit into her Midwestern college town. Aimless after getting dumped by her boyfriend and dropping out of college, Vi works at the front desk of a hotel where she greets guests, refills cucumber water samovars, and tries to evade her bubbly blond coworker, Rachel. Little does Vi know her life is about to be permanently transformed when she agrees to a night out with Rachel. In the alley outside the bar, Vi discovers a strange blob—a small living creature with beady black eyes. In a moment of concern and drunken desperation, she takes it home. 
    But the blob is no ordinary pet. Becoming increasingly sentient, it begins to grow, shift shape, and obey Vi’s commands. As the entity continues to change, Vi is struck with a daring idea: she’ll mold the creature into her ideal partner. Feeding it a stream of sweet breakfast cereals and American pop culture, the creature grows into a movie-star handsome white man. But when Vi’s desire to be loved unconditionally threatens to spiral out of control, she is forced to confront her lonely childhood, her aloof ex-boyfriend, and the racial marginalization that has defined her relationships—a journey of self-discovery that teaches her it’s impossible to control those you love. 
    Blending the familiar with the surreal, Blob is a witty, heartfelt story about the search for love and self and what it means to be human.
