The new collection of stories capturing the travails of aging Millennials from “one of the funniest writers in America” (NPR)

From the author of New Teeth, hailed as "a triumph of sustained humor" (Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review), comes a hilarious new collection of short stories chronicling modern mayhem. Glory Days takes a close look at life in the twenty-first century as only Simon Rich can, unearthing irony and humor at every turn.

Learn what life was like back in 2023 before humans had to leave earth in “History Report.” Cope with student debt and a midlife crisis with Ant and Grasshopper in a “Millennial Edition” of the classic tale. Commiserate with New York City as she deals with the hoards of Warby Parker-clad newcomers claiming her streets, bike lanes and apartments in “The City Speaks.” And help the King of Nigeria finally recover his lost son in “The Mission.”
 
Humorous and deeply heartfelt, Glory Days captures the highs, lows, and laugh-out-loud ridiculousness of life these days.
