Jonathan Ames has drawn comparisons across the literary spectrum, from
David Sedaris to F. Scott Fitzgerald to Woody Allen to P.G. Wodehouse,
and his books, as well as his abilities as a performer, have made him a
favorite on the Late Show with David Letterman. Whether he's chasing
deranged cockroaches around his apartment, kissing a beautiful actress
on the set of an avant-garde film, finding himself stuck perilously on
top of a fence in Memphis in the middle of the night, or provoking
fights with huge German men, Jonathan Ames has an uncanny knack for
getting himself into outlandish situations. In his latest collection, I
Love You More Than You Know, Ames proves once again his immense talent
for turning his own adventures, neuroses, joys, heartaches, and insights
into profound and hilarious tales. Alive with love and tenderness for
his son, his parents, his great-aunt -- and even strangers in bars late
at night -- in I Love You More Than You Know Ames looks beneath the
surface of our world to find the beauty in the perverse, the sweetness
in loneliness, and the humor in pain.
