Glory Days
by Simon Rich
This is a collection of short stories with a wide range of topics that are probably best appreciated by Millennials and Gen X. I listened to the audiobook, read by John Mulaney, who actually was perfect for the level of sarcasm required for really appreciating the humor and absurdity of this book. I laughed pretty hard at a lot of his narration, especially during Mario - an update of a 40-year-old, burned out Mario of Super Mario Brothers, where John Mulaney spent the entire chapter doing his best Mario voice. I don’t know that I would have found that chapter as funny if I’d read it in print.
The stories are clever and weird, and definitely for people who appreciate a specific style of humor. I also loved the shoutout to Rochester and the D&C in “The Mission,” which was a nice nugget for a local. Not every story is a winner but the good ones are pretty enjoyable.
