Book Synopsis
In this laugh-out-loud collection of witty observations from a world that’s falling apart, Eli Grober leads readers into a comical house of horrors. With more than 75 new pieces and many of Grober’s most viral New Yorker and McSweeney’s humour essays, This Won’t Help exposes society’s precarious landscape of hypocritical, illogical, and dangerous leaders and ideals. Finding absurdity and toxic rhetoric everywhere he turns, Grober depicts how damaging certain mindsets and people can be as well as the dire consequences of our letting them persist. Satirising issues of politics, economy, technology, climate change denial, and more, Grober’s biting, Swiftian wit spares no one - from the megalomaniacal billionaire abandoning our deteriorating Earth for a better life on an unlivable Mars to a clueless president begging the people to vote for change. This Won’t Help allows us to reflect upon our crazy world, laugh at its flaws, and recognise the ways we can seek truth, eschew absurdity, and call for change.
