Episode Details

A hilarious collection of stories from the writer the New York Times called “the novelist of his generation.”

Returning to the form in which he began, Sam Lipsyte, author of the New York Times bestseller The Ask, offers up The Fun Parts, a book of bold, hilarious, and deeply felt fiction. Combining both the tragicomic dazzle of his beloved novels and the compressed vitality of his classic debut collection, The Fun Parts is Lipsyte at his best–an exploration of new voices and vistas from a writer Time magazine has said “everyone should read.”
