A perfect book for the holidays, or the summer, or possibly a series of trips to the bathroom, Relatively Painless carries the same hilarious personal, familial, scathingly funny observation as the two earlier works Mr. Brody thinks of as his ‘serious writing,’ the award-winning play “Mother, May I” and his first novel. It also has as many laughs as any of his funny stuff, but never without a dark twist, a melancholic understanding that humor is a coping mechanism and sometimes it feels like family can last a lifetime.

advance praise for Relatively Painless

“My only complaint is that I wanted more, which is a good complaint to have. It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again and then pee and then cry. Lots of fluids lost. But in a good way. A book to make you appreciate the tragically funny and beautiful horror of family.”

Jenny Lawson best-selling author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy
