Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans

by Dave Eggers
Kevin Shay
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A hilarious collection from McSweeney's that "achieves the sensation of being hit by a hip, humorous train.... Breaks mold after mold in hilarious fashion" (The New York Times).

Now more than ever, Americans are troubled by questions. As sweaty modernity thrusts itself upon us, the veil of ignorance that cloaked our nation hangs in tatters, tattered tatters. Our "funny bones" are neither fun nor bony. Glum is the new giddy, and the old giddy wasn't too giddy to begin with. 
What can be done to stop this relentless march of drabbery? Nothing. But perhaps this book can be used to dull the pain. Included herein: 
The Ten Worst Films of All Time, as Reviewed by Ezra Pound over Italian Radio 
Unused Audio Commentary by Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, Recorded Summer 2002, for The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring DVD (Platinum Series Extended Edition), Part One. 
How Important Moments in My Life Would Have Been Different If I Was Shot in the Stomach 
My Beard, Reviewed 
Circumstances under Which I Would Have Sex with Some of My Fellow Jurors
