Joe Pera

Book - 2021

"The cozy comedy of Joe Pera meets the darkly playful illustrations of Joe Bennett in A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape, a funny, warm, and sincere guide to regaining calm and confidence when you're hiding in the bathroom. "Nothing says 'class' to your dinner guests more than a Joe Pera book next to the can." -Seth Meyers Joe Pera goes to the bathroom a lot. And his friend, Joe Bennett, does too. They both have small bladders but more often it's just to get a moment of quiet, a break from work, or because it's the only way they know how to politely end conversations. So they created a functional meditative guide to help people who suffer from social a...nxiety and deal with it in this very particular way. Although, it's a comedic book, the goal is to help these readers: 1. Relax 2. Recharge 3. Rejoin the world outside of the bathroom It's also fun entertainment for people simply hiding in the bathroom to avoid doing work. A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing But Using the Bathroom as an Escape will be waiting in the bathroom like a beacon for anxious readers looking to feel calm, confident, and less alone"--

Review by Booklist Review

Viewers of the TV show Joe Pera Talks With You will immediately recognize Pera's unhurried, contemplative style in this illustrated guide to finding a little alone time for oneself. This is even more pertinent in these times of staying home, which for some readers may mean an increased need to create that solitary space. The experience of using the one room where privacy is generally expected as an escape will likely resonate with many readers, and while this book is a humorous look at that, it also encourages the reader to explore the deeper reasons for needing to spend that time alone. Pera's signature way of including seemingly random but actually deeply related facts as a catalyst for introspection is as suitable here as in his TV work. Joe Bennett's illustrations are at once comforting and a little disturbing, a perfect fit with Pera's text. In very few words, this book manages to convey its message and a wealth of feeling that will stick with readers long after they have emerged from their washroom escape.
