Synopsis

From the Thurber Prize–winning author of New Teeth, hailed as “a triumph of sustained humor” (Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review), comes a hilarious and powerful collection of short stories chronicling the plight of aging millennials. ​
Super Mario turns forty and is forced to “take-a stock” of his life and how “messed up it’s-a become.”

Goliath struggles to control the media narrative in the lead-up to his death match against David, a small, beloved child.

And a long-discarded participation trophy reminisces about the glorious field day in 1993, when he wound up in the arms of a jubilant, asthmatic Simon Rich. 

High-stakes and heartfelt, Glory Days mourns the death of youthful innocence and hails the beginning of something approximating wisdom.
