A new collection of stories capturing the travails of aging millennials from “one of the funniest writers in America” (NPR)   From the Thurber Prize–winning author of New Teeth, hailed as “a triumph of sustained humor” (Sarah Lyall,  New York Times Book Review), comes a hilarious and powerful collection of short stories chronicling the plight of aging millennials. Super Mario turns forty and is forced to “take-a stock” of his life and how “messed up it’s-a become.” Goliath struggles to control the media narrative in the lead-up to his death match against David, a small, beloved child. And a long-discarded participation trophy reminisces about the glorious field day in 1993, when he wound up in the arms of a jubilant, asthmatic Simon Rich.  High-stakes and heartfelt,  Glory Days mourns the death of youthful innocence and hails the beginning of something approximating wisdom.
