New Teeth Stories

I was reading your new book, New Teeth, the other day and I kept shrieking and my wife and kids would come running in the room because they don't hear me laugh like that.

His latest book is a delight. I so love this man's writing. It's called New Teeth and it's available now.

Please if you're listening, go out and get New Teeth and read Clabo because I read it, the entire story out loud to my family because I kept laughing so much.

I've devoured all of your short stories over the years, but there's so many stories in here where I found myself really laughing because it's so funny. But then there's something that feels sweet and real to me at the end that's earned.

His most recent collection of short stories is called New Teeth.

Simon, you're an expert. Do you see the problem with the structure of it?

I first became aware of your existence because you wrote a series of short stories or one long story divided into four parts for The New Yorker called Sellout.

I don't want to ask you to respond to this. I think it's actually pretty hard to respond to specific writing compliments.

So I just want you to know that one of my favorite moments in anything, funny moments I've ever read is this moment when the main character buys a potato at the Whole Foods.

And it's that moment and the specific moment when he is screaming at Whole Foods for their prices and everyone in the store applauds. And that to me is one of my favorite moments in writing.
