ENTITLED TO BE A FOOL (E2F)
Stories We Probably Shouldn't Tell
Entitled to Be a Fool is a series of essays and short stories of dreamers, drifters, overconfident travelers, and professional bad decision-makers in adventures across the globe. From Thailand to Guatemala, Japan to Azerbaijan, these stories celebrate the glorious chaos of learning lessons the hard way, and discovering that wisdom often arrives embarrassingly late.
Funny, reckless, reflective, and occasionally cringe-inducing stories, "Choose Your Own Adventure" is a real trip. "Signs of Success (SOS)," explores the modern obsession with work, status, and productivity. Meanwhile, a broken tooth becomes only the beginning of the adventure in "Party Like a 1980s Japanese Salaryman," while "Exploitation Happens When You're an Idiot" explores the uncomfortable truth that the pursuit of a good time often depends on someone else's misfortune.
This book is a celebration of curiosity, chaos, and the freedom to be a fool. After all, some of life's best stories begin with a bad idea.
