New Teeth

Laugh till you cry in this new collection of stories from the award-winning " Serena Williams of humor writing" (New York Times Book Review) about raising babies and trying not to be one. Called a " comedic Godsend" by Conan O'Brien 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.
