The object
The object
Marshall's self-deprecating, paranoid introspections so overwhelm him that his own thought balloons sometimes cover up Natalie's dialogue. The book is published in an unusual format, wider than it is long. This allows for an extremely wide two-page spread at the conclusion. The book was expanded and the pages were reformatted from their original twenty-instalment appearance in The New York Times Magazine in 2007 and 2008.
