New Book: How to Behave in Public
How to Behave in Public is a dry, absurd, and sneakily moving novel about going viral, going missing, and learning how to be seen again — or at least make peace with it. Includes diagrams, footnotes, and one very long apology to a dog.

A Novel of Viral Etiquette, Cringe, and Collapse
By: JTV
Felix Østergaard is not okay. After an etiquette column turns into a viral meltdown, he becomes a reluctant cultural figure — adored, debated, and dissected online. But he's never liked people. Or parties. Or pigeons. Especially not the one involved in the Incident.
