  • Pajamas in Public and Other Crimes Against Humanity

    What happens when you give a couple of seventeen-year-old buddies a bunch of beer and exile them to the garage on a Michigan winter night? They figure stuff out, that’s what, and they come to the conclusion that most people are idiots.

    While one of those buddies, Pete, took over his family business and crushed it, retiring young, the other joined the Navy, eventually found his way into business, and got crushed. And that guy, Dan Bozung, learned a lot about idiocy along the way. Pajamas in Public and Other Crimes Against Humanity is a collection of funny, bite-sized vignettes on topics likely to be overheard in Pete’s garage. Those who quietly loathe line-cutters, overexplainers, and neighbors who mow their yards in crooked rows will find respite in its pages, where quick hits of humanity beg the question: How do we live with ourselves?
