Aziz Ansari celebrating 'Modern Romance' with book tour

Aziz Ansari

If there’s one universal truth out there, it’s that love hurts. And it’s a topic comedian/actor Aziz Ansari explores in Modern Romance (Penguin Press), co-written with NYU sociology professor Eric Klinenberg.

The book, inspired by topics Ansari riffs on during his stand-up act, looks at how Tinder and texting have impacted the way we date and mate, and why. [USA Today]

If you’ve seen Aziz Ansari‘s MSG special (if you haven’t, it’s on Netflix), you know he’s got a lot of opinions on modern romance — it was the name of his tour and now it’s also a book. Aziz is celebrating with a book tour, that begins in NYC on Tuesday (6/16) at NYU Skirball Center. Tickets for the whole tour are on sale now, and come with a copy of the book.

Earlier that day, he’s also doing a signing at Barnes & Noble in Union Square at noon. You have to pick up the book at the store that day, or at BN.com to get it signed.
