Synopsis: Total genius. --Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn , father of two A childrens book for grown-ups! I really did laugh out loud--hilarious! --David Byrne, musician, father of one I wish this book had been around during my daughters overly protracted sleep rituals! Finally, someone tells it like it really is. This is no-guilt funny and a godsend! --Cristina Garcia, author of The Lady Matadors Hotel , mother of one This is the most honest childrens book ever written. And its f*cking hilarious. --A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically , father of three Go the Fuck to Sleep is the secret anthem of tired parents everywhere. Adam Mansbachs homage to the tropes of bedtime stories is pitch perfect, and Ricardo Cortess stunning illustrations will keep grown-ups and kids alike returning to these pages again and again! --Bliss Broyard, author of One Drop: My Fathers Hidden Life Go the Fuck to Sleep is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes dont always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award-winning author Adam Mansbachs verses perfectly capture the familiar--and unspoken--tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations, and laugh at their absurdity. With illustrations by Ricardo Cortes, Go the Fuck to Sleep is beautiful, subversive, and pants-wettingly funny--a book for parents new, old, and expectant. You probably should not read it to your children.
