Description
Narrator Bert Britwell, his boss Milo, and Milo’s son Jad star in a dark and funny tale of corporate plotting and daddy issues that hinges on an office sub-kitchen scheme and the re-creation of a deceased father’s magical, weightless tap dancing.
“John Wilmes sees things clearly and writes about them lewdly and strangely and brightly in a way that other people can’t. I just think he’s great.”
-David Roth (Deadspin, New York Magazine, The New Republic, The Baffler)
“As hilarious as it is genuinely affecting… a salute to humans and to our bizarre, essential humanity. I’ll never play ping-pong the same way again.”
-Alex Siquig (GQ, The New Yorker, The Ringer)
“Wilmes is a singular and fucked up writer, thank goodness.
-Alex Higley (author of Cardinal and Old Open)
“John Wilmes has the innate ability to capture the staggering failure that permeates an entire generation of men…this book is very, very good.”
-Josh Androsky (Spongebob Squarepants, MEANS TV, Vice)
