Mortified: Love is a Battlefield tomorrow at the Paradise Lounge

Published Feb 05 2008, 04:13 PM by Sharon Steel

In this week's fishwrap we chatted with Mortified creator David Nadelberg about social wallflowers, accidental art, and his new romance-themed anthology. It's 275 pages filled with brutally humiliating tales of love and lust and youth. We cannot be the only people who live for this sort of thing.

Tomorrow night, we beg of you: go see the Mortified Boston stage show at 8 pm at the Paradise Lounge, followed by a book-signing of Mortified: Love is a Battlefield with Nadelberg himself. It's $12. And Freeks & Geeks creator/champion of the unpopular kids in high school Paul Feig hearts the entire venture, so, you know, it's not just us. How awesome is that cover? We love this person, whoever they are. Share the shame, and in the meantime, watch the Mortified Showbox Show's latest web-isode, "Everyone's a Critic." (You may remember Will as the guy you wanted to be best friends with after listening to that This American Life episode, "Parental Guidance Suggested," in which he read letters that he wrote to his Grandma because he didn't have friends, OMG.) Our heart. It breaks. Continually.
