Sh*t My Dad Says

After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is "e;like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair,"e; has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:"e;That woman was sexy. . . . Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them."e;"e;Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."e;"e;The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two."e;Almost two million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sh*t My Dad Says is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.
