Synopsis:
THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOR FINALIST
MOURN LIKE A WINNER
Sure, there are other guidebooks aimed at helping you cope with the emotional and practical challenges of losing a loved one. None, however, have been written by a comedy writer whose "therapeutic training" went no further than an undergraduate degree in psychology, and who lived through this terrible experience and emerged intact enough to write a bunch of jokes about it.
What The Daily Show's America (The Book) was to civics and The Onion's Our Dumb Century was to the history of the twentieth century, Jason Roeder's hilarious (and often moving) Griefstrike! is to death, mourning, and somehow getting on with your life.
About the Author: Jason Roeder is a former senior editor and senior writer at The Onion as well as a contributor to The New Yorker and McSweeney's Internet Tendency. He is the coauthor of the college catalog parody Welcome to Woodmont, named one of Vulture's best humor books of 2022, and of the satirical sex manual Sex: Our Bodies, Our Junk, which Publishers Weekly described in a starred review as a "hilarious and addictive page-turner." He currently lives in Los Angeles and can also be found at jasonroeder.net.
