Reseña: New York Times Bestseller A startlingly original debut from the actor writer director and executive producer hailed as a gifted observer of the human condition and a very funny writer capable of winning that rare thing: unselfconscious insuppressible laughter (The Washington Post). A boy wins a $100000 prize in a box of Frosted Flakes--only to discover that claiming the winnings might unravel his family. A woman sets out to seduce motivational speaker Tony Robbins--turning for help to the famed motivator himself. A new arrival in Heaven overwhelmed with options procrastinates over a long-ago promise to visit his grandmother. We meet Sophia the first artificially intelligent being capable of love who falls for a man who might not be ready for it himself a vengeance-minded hare obsessed with scoring a rematch against the tortoise who ruined his life and post-college friends who try to figure out how to host an intervention in the era of Facebook. Along the way we learn why wearing a red T-shirt every day is the key to finding love how February got its name and why the stock market is sometimes just . . . down. Finding inspiration in questions from the nature of perfection to the icing on carrot cake One More Thing has at its heart the most human of phenomena: love fear hope ambition and the inner stirring for the one elusive element just that might make a person complete. Across a dazzling range of subjects themes tones and narrative voices the many pieces in this collection are like nothing else but they have one thing in common: they share the playful humor deep heart sharp eye inquisitive mind and altogether electrifying spirit of a writer with a fierce devotion to the entertainment of the reader.
