Simon Rich returns with a batch of can’t-miss stories in which Super Mario turns forty and is forced to \”take-a stock\” of his life and how \”messed up it’s-a become.\” Goliath struggles to control the media narrative in the lead-up to his death match against David, a small, beloved child. And a long-discarded participation trophy reminisces about the glorious field day in 1993, when he wound up in the arms of a jubilant, asthmatic Simon Rich. High-stakes and heartfelt, Glory Days mourns the death of youthful innocence and hails the beginning of something approximating wisdom.
