"This is not a book about successful relationships. This is a book-- and a very, very funny one-- about the humiliations we endure to find love and lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. Inspired by her New York Times 'Modern Love' essay about getting the brush-off from an indie rock musician, I Don't Care About Your Band is the true story of comedy writer Julie Klausner's rocky road to romantic enlightenment, brimming with explicit insights that will resonate with any woman who's ever dated the meek, the vain, or the damaged. According to Klausner, 'what Sarah Vowell is to American history, I am to guys in their thirties who've never been married, ride their bikes to work, and really like Death Cab for Cutie.' By turns edgy and deeply personal-- with rapid-fire humor throughout-- I Don't Care About Your Band shows the evolution of a young woman who endured myriad encounters with some hilariously twisted characters, to emerge with real-world wisdom on matters of the heart.' --from the cover.
