Praise for Simon Rich and his work:
"It's always fairly obvious when a 'Shouts and Murmurs' piece in The New Yorker is the product of Simon Rich. Telltale signs include the elegant skewering of adult human behavior, as glimpsed through the eyes of children, animals, spectral beings, or inanimate objects-and the fact that the reader is hunched over laughing." Joe Berkowitz, "Fast Company""
"This Valentine's Day get a box of chocolates and Simon Rich's hysterical new collection....it might just be the best one-night stand you'll ever have." "The Washington Post""
"[The Last Girlfriend on Earth] is technically adept, inarguably funny...Rich's humor is well draw, his punch lines always on time." "The San Francisco Chronicle""
"I can't recommend any Simon Rich book - especially this one - highly enough. From the hyper-competitive rituals of Scrabble players to the laments of a grieving, widowed hamster in an elementary school classroom, each story in Spoiled Brats opens with a brilliant comedic perspective that only gets funnier, more fascinating, more surprising, and more insightful from there. First-rate comedy with a heartbeat, this is one of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors." "B.J. Novak, author of One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories and star of "The Office"""

"His imagined situations read like sketches he might have conceived at his old job as a writer for "Saturday Night Live."..Rich knows how to balance the smart with the funny." Patrick Cassels, "New York Times Book Review""

"Spoiled Brats might just be the funniest book of the year." "Harper's Bazaar""
"Simon Rich, in his new collection, "Spoiled Brats," is in the "Blazing Saddles" phase of his writing career... As hilarious a portrait as you'll find of the self-involved, easily outraged, post-post-post-post-ironic world into which we've dumped the next generation... As solid a piece of comic writing as I've read in a long time."
""New York Times Book Review"

"Ridiculous in the very best way... "Spoiled Brats" mocks its protagonists without being mean; we find ourselves sympathizing and relating with these characters even as we laugh at them. Straight-up cynicism feels a little cruel, but Rich stays away from that, and his stories make the same old tropes feel fresh and funny and new again..." Spoiled Brats" is undeniably funny, but its real genius is that, like the best comedy, it encourages introspection as well."

Reseña del editor
Twenty years ago, Barney the Dinosaur told the nation's children they were special. We're still 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. Rife with failing rock bands, student loans, and participation trophies, Spoiled Brats is about a generation of narcissists-and the well-meaning boomers who made them that way.
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.
Surreal, shrewd, and surprisingly warm, these stories are as resonant as they are hilarious.
*Jimmy So, Daily Beast
