{"product_id":"the-littlest-hitler-isbn-9781582433806","title":"The Littlest Hitler","description":"Welcome to the world of Ryan Boudinot, where a little boy who innocently dresses up as Hitler for Halloween suffers the consequences. (\u003ci\u003eThe Littlest Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e); a world where a typical office romance is destroyed by the female half's habit of coming to work covered in live bees (\u003ci\u003eBee Beard\u003c\/i\u003e); where jacked-up salesmen go on murderous, Burgess-like rampages (\u003ci\u003eThe Sales Team\u003c\/i\u003e); and the children of the future are required to kill off their parents--preferably with an ice pick--in order to be accepted to the college of their choice (\u003ci\u003eCivilization\u003c\/i\u003e). You may never want to leave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn each of these fearless, hilarious, and tightly crafted stories, Boudinot's voice rings with a clarity rarely seen in a debut collection. He speaks to a generation that has tried to seem disaffected but can't help wishing for a better world. His characters shake their heads over the same messes they're busily creating, or lash out angrily at a sex-and-violence-saturated culture. But they can never entirely lose their sense of fun, however perverse it may be.\u003cb\u003eRyan Boudinot\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer. He is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Octopus Rises\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBlueprints of the Afterlife\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Littlest Hitler: Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMisconception\u003c\/i\u003e. The latter three have been nominated for the Washington State Book Award. \u003ci\u003eBlueprints of the Afterlife\u003c\/i\u003e was also nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award and has been published in translation in the Czech Republic and Spain. He edited \u003ci\u003eSeattle, City of Literature\u003c\/i\u003e, an anthology featuring essays by over thirty writers.","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300410282213,"sku":"NP9781582433806","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781582433806.jpg?v=1767740282","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-littlest-hitler-isbn-9781582433806","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
