Should neighborhoods change? Is wearing a suit a good way to quit smoking? Why do people think that if you do one thing; youre against something else? Is monogamy a trick? Why isnt making the city more fun for you and your friends a super-noble political goal? Why does a computer last only three years? How often should you see your parents? How should we behave at parties? Is marriage getting easier? What can spam tell us about the world? Misha Gloubermans friend and collaborator; Sheila Heti; wanted her next book to be a compilation of everything Misha knew. Together; they made a list of subjects. As Misha talked; Sheila typed. He talked about games; relationships; cities; negotiation; improvisation; Casablanca; conferences; and making friends. His subjects ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. But sometimes what had seemed trivial began to seem importantmdash;and what had seemed important began to seem less so. The Chairs Are Where the People Go is refreshing; appealing; and kind of profound. Its a self-help book for people who dont feel they need help; and a how-to book that urges you to do things you dont really need to do.
