“Always engaged with the world and incisive, Grover’s latest must-have collection continues to explore the personal in ways that are universal, passionate, and urgent.”

—Jeff Vandermeer, New York Times bestselling author of Annihilation, winner of The Nebula Award

With original illustrations taken from Grover’s own collection of art, to-do lists, and doctors’ notes, Sorry I Was Gone exposes to absurdity the arbitrary metrics by which we judge our lives. In essays on reality TV, personality tests and final exams, Grover asks: what if the worst thing that ever happened to you was also the funniest?
