Good on Paper: The New Romantic Comedy in Contemporary Fiction
The romantic comedy is alive and well — and it has morphed to reflect the changing dating scene and complexity of relationships in contemporary society. In these funny, smart, refreshing stories, a young Iranian-American woman puts her dating life in a spreadsheet in a quest to marry rich; two sworn enemies are forced to play nice while on a roadtrip to find a missing bride; an anxious publicist falls for the lesbian star she’s supposed to keep in the closet; and one woman at a crossroads begins to wonder if her fake relationship might actually be the real deal she’s been searching for.
With: Hannah Brown, Amy Spalding, Mariam Rahmani, and Celia Laskey
