About this product
Product Information
Wall Street Journal columnist and New York Times bestselling author Jason Gay takes a humorous and insightful look at life in the face of a seemingly overwhelming series of ongoing societal changes and phenomena that we never anticipated, exploring the effects on parenthood, marriage, friendship, work, play, and all aspects of the strange lives we find ourselves living.Like many of us, Jason Gay didn't see this coming: a reshaped world, on edge, often stuck at home, questioning everything, trying to navigate a digital landscape that changes how we think, parent, coach, and live. With a series of topical and interconnected personal pieces, Gay comically takes on this new state of being, looking for the optimism and joy in the face of discouragement. He embarks on a rowdy ride with his son to the Daytona 500, weeks before lockdown. He confides his hilariously banal texts with his wife. He allows his mom to kidnap the family cat. From the modest thrills of Little League parenting to reckoning with the impending death of a close friend, Gay's essays run the gamut of modern life and he approaches it all with humility, grace, and more than a few laughs.

Reviews
"Witty Wall Street Journal sports columnist Gay shares self-deprecating vignettes and observations.... Each of the 32 chapters, including musings on work from home and Mars travel, could stand alone, while together they form a family man's memoir. Capturing the minutiae of everyday life, Gay laughs at it all and tries to make sense of it during the pandemic era. Gay's self-deprecating linked essays are thought-provoking and funny, which is a winning combination."-- Booklist, "This delightful, eclectic collection of essays...offers something like a philosophy on modern life, dressed down with self-deprecating wit and a hearty dash of sarcasm. Gay rushes headlong into his mistakes, watches them compile, and extracts if not wisdom, a kind of wise resignation that such snafus are inevitable and better delighted in than mourned. The opening essay...manages to be both light on its feet and philosophical--an impressive juxtaposition considering it's extracted from a trip to the Daytona 500 with his six-year-old son. Whether he's dissecting the exquisite banality of texting...or illicit pet transfers in the early pandemic days...Gay is a delightfully personable guide to our strange times."-- Vogue, "[An] entertaining collection.... Gay's winningly self-deprecating voice will keep readers hooked. This is just the ticket for fans of Jim Gaffigan-style dad humor."-- Library Journal
