My Shorts: Brief Scenes from My Early Life; A Collection of Personal Essays

You don’t have to be Jewish to love My Shorts. But it doesn’t hurt!

Think David Sedaris meets Nora Efron meets Ralph from The Christmas Story.

An uproarious collection of true stories featuring a chubby Cheetos-loving Jewish middle child with overactive sweat glands and an abundant imagination. His tendency towards mischief and twisting the truth complicates grappling with issues of childhood, family, relationships, sexuality, and a hunger to be accepted. From lusting for a BB gun, accidentally setting the family shed on fire, to his “first time” . . . every one of Brian’s stories will make you giggle and feel the nostalgic joy of the messy, hilarious, and poignant journey we call life.

Written with a fresh and honest voice blending humor, Americana culture, and “it’s like I’m right there in the ’60s” scenes and vivid dialogue, My Shorts delivers life lessons that stick with you long after reading. Brian’s stories remind you that no matter what, never forget to laugh.

Sit down with your Black & White Cookie and a glass of milk with Fox's u-bet and enjoy the ride.
