Me: Why don't you make yourself useful and write a blurb for the back cover of my book? My ex-friend Seth: I already did Here it is: "My Ex-Friend Seth is Paul Tonnes's collection of dialogs from a friendship." Me: That's it? My ex-friend Seth: Yep. Me: You're not going to say it's a witty, touching, and ambitious tour de force? That this collection is poignant and profound? That Paul Tonnes has created a brutal and frank, yet tender and compassionate, sequence of dialogs sure to set literary circles aflame and delight readers everywhere? My ex-friend Seth: Nope. Nobody reads the back anyway except to look at the price. Then they'll slowly put it back on the shelf and just walk away.
