Spoiled Brats: Stories, Paperback

Descriere

Twenty years ago, Barney the Dinosaur told the nation's children they were special. We're still paying the price. From ""one of the funniest writers in America"" comes a collection of stories culled from the front lines of the millennial culture wars. Rife with failing rock bands, student loans, and participation trophies, ""Spoiled Brats ""is about a generation of narcissists-and the well-meaning boomers who made them that way. A hardworking immigrant is preserved for a century in pickle brine. A helicopter mom strives to educate her demon son. And a family of hamsters struggles to survive in a private-school homeroom. Surreal, shrewd, and surprisingly warm, these stories are as resonant as they are hilarious. Jimmy So, Daily Beast
