Jen Spyra has worked in near­ly every kind of com­e­dy there is: pen­ning sto­ries for The Onion, writ­ing skits and one-lin­ers as a staff writer for The Late Show with Stephen Col­bert, con­tribut­ing pieces to The New York­er and McSweeney’s, and tak­ing the stage for improv at UCB The­atre in Man­hat­tan. Her incred­i­ble range is on dis­play in this uproar­i­ous, addic­tive debut col­lec­tion of short sto­ries that includes a dis­turbing­ly hilar­i­ous tale about how far one woman will go to achieve the per­fect wed­ding body, a sto­ry of the first influ­encer dat­ing back to pre­his­toric times, a reimag­in­ing of a Christ­mas clas­sic in which the snow­man who comes to life turns out to be a real per­vert, and the mem­oir of an up-and-com­ing 1940s star­let who gets trans­plant­ed to mod­ern-day Hol­ly­wood and tries to claw her way back to the top, despite being ridicu­lous­ly unwoke.
