“Design Flaws of the Human Condition contains the kind of pitch-perfect observations that make you want to phone the author, crying, “Yes! Yes! Yes! I feel exactly the same way!” A searing satire of every imaginable inconvenience and indignity, Schmidtberger’s novel of ill manners shimmers with wit, whimsy, and wisdom.”
—Marc Acito, author of How I Paid for College
“In New York—a city of coincidence and contradictions—Iris and Ken are the quintessential couple, the straight woman and her gay best friend. And what a pair they make. Their adventures bubble with humor but never become absurd, and the story of their friendship charms without becoming sentimental.”
—Shari Goldhagen, author of Family and Other Accidents
