Here’s a children’s bedtime story that won’t put you to sleep.
Tired of being the good parent? Novelist and dad Adam Mansbach has a
lullaby for you: Go The F*** To Sleep. Published by Akashic
Books and leaked on the web to uproarious cheers of relief, the book is
a satirical and hilarious pastiche of popular sleepytime talesfor when
the originals just aren’t doing sh**. Choice quote: The eagles who soar
through the sky are at rest / And the creatures who crawl, run and
creep. / I know you’re not thirsty. That’s bullsh**. Stop lying. / Lie
the f*** down, my darling, and sleep.
Not so tender is the night. SNP
