Romantic Comedy
by Curtis Sittenfeld
Review by Ray
This is a sharp and lovely romance set in the behind-the-scenes world of a popular, long-running late-night American sketch comedy TV show (it’s not SNL but it may as well be). The characters are clever and funny, with quick dialogue and warm rapport. I loved the subversion of stereotypes that were at play here, without ever feeling forced or preachy, and the detailed insight into the inner workings of a writer’s room was surprisingly thrilling. It’s a real delight.
