Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
