Satire, by definition, is not polite company. It scratches, bites, and laughs inappropriately at funerals. But it also tells the truth—the kind of truth most people would rather whisper behind closed doors than print in black and white. This collection of thirty darkly comic pieces embraces that spirit. They are short, sharp dissections of modern life—love, ambition, family, and the thousand absurdities we endure in the name of civility. Consider them social X-rays: unflattering, accurate, and impossible to look away from.
