You Cad!: Patricia Marx at the Booksmith TONIGHT

In Him Her Him Again the End of Him, former Saturday Night Live writer and current New Yorker humor scribe PATRICIA MARX offers up a close study on how far a girl will go to get over her hideously self-indulgent college boyfriend. Marx’s unnamed enraptured narrator falls in love with Eugene, a fellow Cambridge University student who has a wandering eye and an ego big enough to fill a singles cruise ship. Will our girl triumph over her obsession, complete her graduate degree, and meet a nice boy who doesn’t treat her like shit? Will she make it on her own as a writer in New York and swear off men forever? Or will she win over the cad/bore/love of her life, who maybe isn’t so bad after all? Find out when Marx redefines the meaning of what it is to be a narcissistic jerk face at Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard St, Brookline | 7 pm | free | 617.566.6660.
