Thrilling Tales Of Modern Men: Danny McBride On Ego, Grievance & The Stories Men Tell Themselves

Danny McBride is the writer, actor, and producer behind “Eastbound & Down,” “Vice Principals,” and “The Righteous Gemstones.”

For 30 years, he's satirized the aggrieved modern male, the guy who grew up on Rambo and ended up working at Geico. His first collection of short stories, “Thrilling Tales of Modern Men,” puts it all on the page. We get into masculinity, disappointment, the manosphere, and a world that already feels like the extended McBride universe.

Beneath the comedy, the only real antagonist in these stories is the man himself.

Danny is a master of his craft, and a rare eye on the foibles of the modern American man. Enjoy!
