by Joseph Fink
First published 2012
Adulthood remains one of life's great mysteries, so Joseph Fink gathered more than thirty creative minds to crack the code. Writers, artists, and comedians from across America contributed their takes on what being grown up actually means. Their responses arrive as essays, short stories, charts, letters, and even a picture book. The collection features comedians Neil Hamburger and Kyle Kinane, The Onion contributors Nathan Rabin and Greg Rutter, SomethingAwful.com editor Zack Parsons, and Davy Rothbart from Found Magazine. Rather than offering a single answer, the book presents a kaleidoscope of perspectives on this universal puzzle. Readers can skip years of painful trial and error by diving into these wildly entertaining takes on grown up life.
