New Teeth
New Teeth: Stories | Simon Rich
6 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Laugh till you cry in this new collection of stories from the Serena Williams of humor writing (New York Times Book Review) about raising babies and trying to learn how not to be one. Called a comedic Godsend by Conan OBrien, and the Stephen King of comedy writing by John Mulaney, Simon Rich is back with New Teeth, his funniest and most personal collection yet. 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. Equal parts silly and sincere, New Teeth is an ode to growing up, growing older, and what it means to make a family.

“Learning the Ropes“ (the pirate story) and “The Big Nap“ were quite amusing. The rest? Not so much.

Discovered this at my work (ie. A local bookstore) and then rented it through the library.
Only a couple of stories really had me laughing (see "The Big Nap," in which the adventure of a toddler is told as a hard-boiled detective caper), but overall it's a great collection that provides much needed smiles.

The hysterical Simon Rich is one of my favorite writers, but I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as his others.
