Simon Rich
Eliott Allagash
Random House
SNL writer Simon Rich’s first novel (following his humor collections Ant Farm and Free Range Chickens) is a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice. Judd Apatow calls it “suspenseful and hilarious. I am so glad I don't have to lie in this blurb like I usually do,” and A.J. Jacobs calls it “one of the funniest books about high schoolers since The Catcher in the Rye. We must all pray that Simon Rich won’t move to New Hampshire and become a recluse who spends his time reading Eastern philosophy. Because we need more books from this guy.”
