Description

WHEN YOUR KID IS LITTLE, the paradoxes of parenting are simple: you can love your child to death, and also be willing to do anything to get them to go the fuck to sleep. But by the time your precious little baby bird is getting ready to spread its wings and leave the nest? That's a whole different level of complexity. You're happy and sad. Thrilled and devastated. You want to give them all the advice you can, but you know they've got to make their own mistakes. You want them to know they can always come home, but also you're turning their bedroom into a gym.

With Adam Mansbach's trademark honesty, humor, and profanity, Go the Fuck to College perfectly captures the complicated emotional reality of this poignant, fraught, exciting time. A perfect gift for any graduating senior--or their parents or grandparents--this book somehow encapsulates everything you'd ever want to tell your kid . . . along with a few things you'd never dream of saying out loud.

Critical Reviews

A new Bible for weary parents.-- "New York Times, on Go the Fuck to Sleep"

Incredibly appealing.-- "NPR, on Go the Fuck to Sleep"

A parenting zeitgeist . . . A phenomenon that has stunned the publishing world and may just redefine the modern 'parenting' market.-- "Washington Post, on Go the Fuck to Sleep"

Countless sleep-deprived parents around the world were grateful when, in 2011, Mansbach published a riproaringly profane parody of a children's book to help kids fall asleep. A series of Go the Fuck to Sleep books followed. And why not? The novelist hit on a hilarious conceit--merging syrupy-sweet kid-lit prose with R-rated kickers--that kept on giving. As happens, children grow older. Yet don't they still need some advice when heading off to college? Yes, those doorstopper guides on best colleges might help, but they're not quite as funny as Mansbach's latest book . . . Yet more laughs for overwhelmed parents--as they become empty nesters.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
