Afterbirth by Dani Klein Modisett
‘Afterbirth’ is about what parenting is really like: full of inappropriate impulses and unbelievable frustrations. It’s about how life for some parents changes for the worse after their kids are born. Or so it feels. It’s about how not every three-year-old is delightful and about how sometimes when your kid is having a tantrum, you have to stifle the impulse to round-house him. The participants are some of the best comic writers today, turning their attention very close to home and sparing no one, particularly themselves.
