My Shorts: Brief Scenes from My Early Life; A Collection of Personal Essays

audioboek


You donā€™t have to be Jewish to love My Shorts. But it doesnā€™t hurt!

Think David Sedaris meets Nora Efron meets Ralph from The Christmas Story.

An uproarious collection of true stories featuring a chubby Cheetos-loving Jewish middle child with overactive sweat glands and an abundant imagination. His tendency towards mischief and twisting the truth complicates grappling with issues of childhood, family, relationships, sexuality, and a hunger to be accepted. From lusting for a BB gun, accidentally setting the family shed on fire, to his ā€œfirst timeā€ . . . every one of Brianā€™s stories will make you giggle and feel the nostalgic joy of the messy, hilarious, and poignant journey we call life.

Written with a fresh and honest voice blending humor, Americana culture, and ā€œitā€™s like Iā€™m right there in the ā€™60sā€ scenes and vivid dialogue, My Shorts delivers life lessons that stick with you long after reading. Brianā€™s stories remind you that no matter what, never forget to laugh.

Sit down with your Black & White Cookie and a glass of milk with Fox's u-bet and enjoy the ride.
