George Watsky presents How to Ruin Everything at Rickshaw Stop
Award-winning poet and musician George Watsky returns to his hometown for the release of How To Ruin Everything--a debut essay collection that explores some of his strangest misadventures and greatest challenges. Even with an early career tinged with unexpected Internet notoriety, Watsky has still had missteps along the way. In How To Ruin Everything, he chronicles his triumphs over humiliation and his ill-fated adventures, all conveyed with his trademark self-deprecation and distinct linguistic style. This essay collection is brutally honest and irresistibly funny, it will resonate with fans of his music, poetry, and sold out performances.
