Publisher's Summary
Laugh till you cry in this new collection of stories from the “Serena Williams of humor writing” (New York Times Book Review) about raising babies and trying to learn how not to be one.
Called a “comedic Godsend” by Conan O’Brien, and “the Stephen King of comedy writing” by John Mulaney, Simon Rich is back with New Teeth, his funniest and most personal collection yet.
Two murderous pirates find a child stowaway on board and attempt to balance pillaging with co-parenting. A woman raised by wolves prepares for her parents’ annual Thanksgiving visit. An aging mutant superhero is forced to learn humility when the mayor kicks him upstairs to a desk job. And in the hard-boiled caper “The Big Nap”, a weary two-year-old detective struggles to make sense of “a world gone mad”.
Equal parts silly and sincere, New Teeth is an ode to growing up, growing older, and what it means to make a family.
What the critics say
"Rich presents parody, absurdity, observational wit, the sudden shift in a familiar premise, and a surprising touch of sweetness and charm throughout.... [New Teeth is] so consistently funny, so exceptional in its imaginative use of parody as to be near genius. A fertile mind provides many smiles in this entertaining collection - and more than a few out-loud laughs." (Kirkus, starred review)

hilarious & beautiful & quirky & heartwarming!
Simon Rich is a genius at turning these seemingly simple stories into deep and true life lessons. His words and phrasing are also hilariously amusing. You leave each story with a tiny smile on your face.

Outstanding Performance
The incredible performance really brings out Rich’s lunacy and brilliance. One of the few audiobooks I’ve experienced that is preferable to reading the physical book.
