You're Not Doing It Right

Black's stories about marriage and humiliation really hit close to home for me, but I wondered if others felt the same mix of empathy and embarrassment.

The balance between comedy and vulnerability in these essays is striking. I'm curious what motivated him to share these personal tales in this way.

Some stories felt painfully real while others seemed more exaggerated. I wonder how much was rooted in actual experience versus storytelling flair.
