Cover von Simon Rich: The World of Simon Rich (ePUB)

Simon Rich’s BBC Radio 4 series of the same name will be broadcast in June
The world is a bewildering place and we’re ill-equipped to deal with it. From the horrors of childhood to the vagaries of old age, from confused people to humiliated animals, we’re all just trying – and often failing – to keep it together. How carefully should you answer when asked what you’d take to a desert island? What do you do if your parents are reading your diary? How useful is a Swiss Army Knife? And what’s A Brief History of Time really about?
Armed with a sharp eye for the absurd and an overwhelming sense of doom, Simon Rich explores the ridiculousness of our everyday lives, from the most minute of anxieties to one of life’s biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was …
‚Simon Rich is very much laugh-out-loud funny. He can conjure authentic, from-the-abdomen laughter on almost every page. He stacks surrealism on top of slick satire on top of pure childish silliness in such a brilliant and condensed way, there are sometimes three laugh-out-loud moments within the same paragraph … He is exactly the right kind of writer for the internet: funny, high-concept, accessible, short, sharable, a James Thurber for the Twitter age‘ Matt Haig
