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 "like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair," has
never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he
began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:
"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."
"Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks
like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."
"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."
More than a 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.
