Genre-defying, raucous and elliptical, Search Histories is a collection of short (short) prose about what people google in a specific time of their lives, however significant or mundane. Epigrammatic, wicked, and hilarious, composed only of what people might have typed into Google, this book is a look at our fears, existential wonders, suffering and inconsequential streams of consciousness. 

 

Search Histories is all about humanity’s insecurities, Do chicks like dudes in leather jackets, curiosities, pics of boobs women, and vulnerabilities, Has anyone else said sorry to a chair leg before reddit.
 

Mostly funny, at times sad because it’s true, Search Histories shows that people today are chronic overthinkers desperately hunting for the answers to: Who am I and is it ok?​

There is the laughter of recognition as insecurities and oddities pop up that many of us have either searched for online or thought about searching. There is the utter delight of wild searches from people we will never know but about whose lives we gain hilarious insight. The collection is equally moving. Mini narratives around loss and grief, anxiety and hope are heart-achingly poignant. Yet there is nothing sentimental or saccharine in this work. It is a documentation of human yearning and our very real vulnerabilities.

This is a brilliant means by which to bring a reader in on the joke, to make the reader feel just as funny as the author, and thus illuminate the absurdity all around us...Search Histories reveals...that when given a chance at a one-way dialogue, we’re often not too fussed about appearing shallow, vain, lost, and submissive – that, in fact, we have a supreme amount of confidence in our own insecurity...
