A film critic writes a hit Broadway musical. A big tech oligarch becomes a boy band manager. A Grammy award-winning saxophonist struggles to reclaim his identity after getting attacked by a shark. Nothing is outside the realm of Baker Hill's imagination in his short story collection, The Master Conversationalist. If you're a fan of Douglas Adams, Simon Rich, B.J. Novak, Lorrie Moore, or laughing out loud in general, you've found the right book to distract you from world events and the kid kicking the back of your seat on the airplane.

Here's what people are saying about The Master Conversationalist:

"Strangely Thoughtful"
? "I stumbled onto this book by chance and on a lark decided to read the first couple stories before buying. I had a hard time putting it down. I found myself laughing out loud while reading. The stories are fun and strangely thoughtful."

"Sharp and Witty"
? "This is the funniest book I have read in a long time. This compilation of short stories includes a story about a caveman entrepreneur struggling to get venture capital for his "fire" discovery and more. Extremely sharp and witty, can't say enough great things about the book."

"Conversational and Fun"
? "Sometimes you need something light- a laugh maybe- between heavier books. The Master Conversationalist is the perfect fit. A collection of humorous, satirical short stories, this was perfect to read during my beach days. My personal favorite was The Big Orange Ghost. The writing is conversational and fun, I felt as if I were sitting with a friend being told an amazing story."

"Hilarious and touching"
? "... When my expectations were subverted, it felt rewarding because I understood and empathized with these people, and for as surprising as those twists could be (the final line of the story The Hero stands out for this), they felt earned. I'm definitely going to be spending more time with these characters, as well as whoever Hill chooses to explore in future work."
