Glory Days

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.
