Reviews"In this laugh-out-loud millennial-bait story collection, an aging Super Mario 'takes-a-stock' of life, a cast-off participation trophy reflects on the good days, and more." -- People, "Thoughtful and revelatory...I marveled at Rich's ability to juxtapose a really off-the-wall idea with a tender-hearted ending...He's always been this good."-- Minneapolis Star-Tribune, "There's nobody who does it better than Simon Rich." -Vulture (The Best Comedy Books of 2024)-- Vulture, "The travails of an aging Super Mario, the media battle between David and Goliath, and the workplace woes of the foul-mouthed Tooth Fairy are among humorist Rich's latest concoctions....His follow-up to New Teeth is clever fun." -- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisTHE BEST COMEDY BOOK OF 2024 - An "absolutely hilarious and singular" (Tommy Orange) collection of "laugh-out-loud" ( People ) stories about millennials entering the abyss of middle age--from Thurber Prize-winning author Simon Rich, "one of the funniest writers in America" (NPR). 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. High-stakes and heartfelt, Glory Days mourns the death of youthful innocence and hails the beginning of something approximating wisdom., THE BEST COMEDY BOOK OF 2024 * An "absolutely hilarious and singular" (Tommy Orange) collection of "laugh-out-loud" ( People ) stories about millennials entering the abyss of middle age--from Thurber Prize-winning author Simon Rich, "one of the funniest writers in America" (NPR).
