A literary skewering of modern communication and lifestyle, this book includes 47 of Kathryn Higgins's humorous writings, most of which have been previously published in literary journals, magazines, and humor webzines. Imagine your most earnest self-help article, career-guidance pamphlet or villanelle pasted on the wall and punctured with arrows dipped in equal parts humor and snark.
The book includes essays, lists, parodies, fake news, catalog copy, advice columns, marketing studies, telephone transcripts, poems, and more.
