In his riotous debut collection, Ant Farm, Simon Rich found humor in some of lifeâs most desperate situations. Now this former editor of The Harvard Lampoon and current writer for Saturday Night Live has returned to mine more comedy from our hopelessly terrifying world.
In the nostalgic opening chapter, Rich recalls his fear of the Tooth Fairy (âIs there a face fairy?â) and his initial reaction to the âGot-your-noseâ game (âPlease just kill me. Better to die than to live the rest of my life as a monsterâ). He goes on to present Count Draculaâs desperate Match.com profile (âI am normal human looking for human woman to come to castle. I am normal, regular humanâ). Later, he gets inside the heads of two firehouse Dalmatians who canât understand their mastersâ compulsion to drive off to horrible fires every day. And in the final chapter, he tackles some of lifeâs biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was. . . .
Praise for Simon Richâs Ant Farm
âAnt Farm has an imaginative power that can trigger snort-fests. . . . Ferociously creative, this book is for readers craving both smart humor and belly laughs.â
âPeople (four stars)
âSavagely funny.â
âThe New York Times
âHilarious. Open this book anywhere, begin reading, and you will laugh.â
âJon Stewart
âAnt Farm is what all humor books should be: full of brief, high-concept musings that you wish youâd thought of yourself.â
âTime Out New York
âA satirical salmagundi that bites back . . . Imaginative premises abound. . . . As unpredictable as YouTube, as in your face as MySpace.â
