For example, today, technology plays a large role in how people find dates, initiate dates, and communicate with one another. That’s when he teamed up with NYU university professor of sociology Eric Klinenberg to write this book.ĭating today in America is noticeably different than how it was for those who dated in the olden days, circa the 50s. Spurred by this “ghosting” incident, Ansari decided that he wanted to learn more about dating in the modern world. He texted her later about going out on another date sometime only to get a message that she had seen his text and started to reply but never did. Why would a comedian write a book about dating and romance? Once, Ansari went out on a date with a woman and everything seemed to go fine. Maybe more should consider doing the same. This route may be a natural extension for them. Comedians are often considered to be thinkers and cultural critics. Come to think of it, maybe it’s not that far-fetched for a comedian to write a research-backed book. Then again, I also thought, good for him for doing something atypical for a comedian he seemed genuinely interested in the subject. It wasn’t even supposed to be a funny anecdotal book about dating, but one with actual research. When I initially heard about Ansari’s book, it seemed a little strange to me that a comedian would write a book about dating.
Keep in mind that all of this was before Ansari was hit by the #MeToo movement. I think I first heard about his book on an NPR show. I don’t follow Aziz Ansari, but I knew who he was, I probably had heard a joke or two from him before and I had heard that he wrote a book on dating.
I browsed through and came across a picture of comedian Aziz Ansari posing under the words Modern Romance. I think at the time that I chose this book I was simply looking for another audiobook.
