Glouberman co-wrote The Chairs are Where the People Go: How to Live, Work, and Play in the City with Sheila Heti, a collection of seventy-two short pieces[1] which The New Yorker described as "a triumph of what might be called conversational philosophy,"[2] while the New York Times described it as "pop philosophy.
[4] It was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2011, and covers topics including "[h]ow to arrange chairs at a reading in ways that involve your audience, how to organize a neighborhood to petition to get a noisy bar to quiet down in the wee hours, how to play charades, [and] how to appreciate the beauty of miscommunication.
"[5] Glouberman is a founder and alumnus of the Harvard College-based improv group, The Immediate Gratification Players.
[6] These games have been performed as workshops and also in art contexts, at institutions and galleries such as Southern Exposure.
"[9] Also with Sheila Heti, he co-founded the monthly barroom lecture series Trampoline Hall,[10] which he continues to host in Toronto and other cities.
