Every company he works for goes bankrupt within a month. His landlord just kicked him out. His parents think he's a failure. He can barely scrape up enough pennies to take the subway. Oh, and he's still dealing with his fiancée leaving him on national TV. Welcome to the world of Will Leitch. In this hilarious, poignant collection of his award-winning Internet columns (with all new material), Leitch takes us on journey from small-town Illinois to the madness of Manhattan and back again.
