<b>THE BEST COMEDY BOOK OF 2024</b>• <b>An "absolutely hilarious and singular" (Tommy Orange) collection of "laugh-out-loud" (<i>People</i>) stories about millennials entering the abyss of middle age—from Thurber Prize-winning author Simon Rich, "one of the funniest writers in America" (NPR). </b><br> Simon Rich returns with a batch of can't-miss stories in which Super Mario turns forty and is forced to “take-a stock” of his life and how “messed up it’s-a become.” Goliath struggles to control the media narrative in the lead-up to his death match against David, a small, beloved child. And a long-discarded participation trophy reminisces about the glorious field day in 1993, when he wound up in the arms of a jubilant, asthmatic Simon Rich. <br><br> High-stakes and heartfelt,<i> Glory Days </i>mourns the death of youthful innocence and hails the beginning of something approximating wisdom.
