About this ebook

In his debut collection of personal essays, Emmy-nominated screenwriter Michael Jamin (King of the Hill, Just Shoot Me, Beavis and Butt-Head, Wilfred, Maron, Rules of Engagement, Tacoma FD) recounts the true stories of a sensitive, anxious man searching for the things that are most important: identity, love, forgiveness, and redemption.

A cross between David Sedaris and Neil Simon, Michael discovers his unlikeliest moments of growth: he fakes his way onto a college-football team to experience a moment of grace; gets caught lying during a Hollywood power meeting; takes advantage of the pandemic lockdown to repair his relationship with his daughters, breaks up with a woman because she can’t stop saying “just kidding.”

Audaciously funny yet achingly poignant, A Paper Orchestra will have you rethinking the smallest, almost forgotten moments of your life.

Named Vulture's "Best Comedy Books of 2024"

About the author

As a professional television writer-showrunner, Michael Jamin has made a career of writing what studios pay him to write. But the idea of creating something just for fun … that hadn’t occurred to him in 27 years. A Paper Orchestra was conceived to rediscover the joy of writing without expectation. In the process, Michael found something even more important—himself. He tours with A Paper Orchestra as a one-man show.
