The Perfect Gift

Summary

From the beloved comedian, writer, and director Julio Torres, a hilarious and whimsical journey through the art of giving.

In this beautifully illustrated book from a brilliantly absurd mind, Julio Torres, cult comedian, filmmaker, and former Saturday Night Live writer, brings his signature surreal humor to this creative collection of gifts for every person and occasion. A playful yet profound reflection on human connection, each gift builds on the relationship between the giver and recipient. These are not simply objects—these are bridges: a sublet map to maximize the space in your apartment; a patient grandson who helps with technology; tiny, little stairs so your dreams can come out at night and dance. Delightfully impractical, yet deeply artistic and innovative, The Perfect Gift is the perfect kids book for adults: a celebration of the imagination, especially for those who expect the unexpected.
