Simon Rich is the author of
What in God's Name,
Ant Farm, Free-Range Chickens, and
Elliot Allagash. His work, including some of these stories, has appeared in
The New Yorker ("It's always fairly obvious when a 'Shouts and Murmurs' piece in
The New Yorker is the product of Simon Rich. Telltale signs include the elegant skewering of adult human behavior, as glimpsed through the eyes of children, animals, spectral beings, or inanimate objects-and the fact that the reader is hunched over laughing." - Joe Berkowitz,
Fast Company). He has written film scripts for Lorne Michaels and Judd Apatow, and until recently he was a staff writer at
Saturday Night Live; he currently writes for Pixar. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
