false 6443361 1 When college instructor Dewan Gibson leaves the Midwest for California, he expects to find a world of breast implants, beer and beaches. Instead he enters a secret and ill-fated romance with a Middle Eastern undergraduate. In this vivid and humorous memoir, Gibson describes his attempts to overcome his forbidden love affair by jumping into an office fling gone wrong (Tijuana Mornings), traveling across the world to Denmark in hopes of meeting "Ms. Booty Mama" (Arhus Ain't for Lovers) and musing over the interracial relationships between his African-American uncles and "rural white women that wore 1980's big bangs and resembled Guns N' Roses groupies" (Too Much Tupac). Toeing the line between stable adulthood and post-college debauchery, Gibson presents a comically honest look at the frailty of modern relationships. Poignant, witty and at times downright hilarious--The Imperfect Enjoyment is a story of toxic relationships and the search for a second chance at love that enlightens and amuses as very few books do. 6633354 16 12 2008 The Imperfect Enjoyment total:12|5:0|4:1|3:1|2:1|1:0| 12 45 32 10 4 0 false false Wed Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 14:53:48 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 14:56:00 -0700 2009

I got into this book as soon as I got it. The book cover, author's info, and Gibson's "crazy ass" hand-written message on the first page were all hilarious. And it only got funnier once I dove in.
