Publisher's Synopsis
From Dave Barry to Tom Perrotta, from "New York" magazine to "Weekend Today," the word ubiquitously associated with Larry Doyle is hilarious.
Following the success of his popular novels "Go, Mutants!" and "I Love You, Beth Cooper," Doyle returns with a collection of short works for fans who just want the satire, wit, merciless humor (and occasional glimmer of tenderness) straight, no chaser. Doyle has written on everything, from childhood to evil genius, pets to parenthood, Mark Twain to Twitter, and it s all here, including favorites from the Shouts and Murmurs column in the "New Yorker," classics from "Esquire" and "National Lampoon," as well as more than a dozen pieces never before published."
