Overview
From hipsters to widowed hamsters, this hilarious collection combines "gentle surrealism and smiley satire" to portray a generation of narcissists and the well-meaning boomers who made them that way (Telegraph UK). For years, Barney the Dinosaur told the nation's children they were special. Now they're all grown up and we're 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 (Daily Beast). 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. Rife with failing rock bands, student loan debt, and participation trophies, Spoiled Brats is surreal, shrewd, and surprisingly warm, as resonant as it is hilarious.
