Simon Rich
Overview
<b>Laugh till you cry in this new collection of stories from the award-winning </b><b>“Serena Williams of humor writing” (<i>New York Times Book Review</i>) about raising babies and trying not to be one.</b><br> <br>Called a “comedic Godsend” by Conan O’Brien and “the Stephen King of comedy writing” by John Mulaney, Simon Rich is back with <i>New Teeth, </i>his funniest and most personal collection yet.<br> <br>Two murderous pirates find a child stowaway on board and attempt to balance pillaging with co-parenting. A woman raised by wolves prepares for her parents’ annual Thanksgiving visit. An aging mutant superhero is forced to learn humility when the mayor kicks him upstairs to a desk job. And in the hard-boiled caper “The Big Nap,” a weary two-year-old detective struggles to make sense of “a world gone mad.”<br> <br>Equal parts silly and sincere, <i>New Teeth</i> is an ode to growing up, growing older, and what it means to make a family.
