What happens to us after we die? Why does pornography ruin everything? Why should you never wear cargo shorts? What are the keys to a successful marriage? Why do some people commit suicide, but others don't?

This sparkling collection of essays sets out to answer these questions and more.

With empathy, curiosity, and candor, Jared Dillian dives headlong into the central questions of existence with eyes wide open, observing life in a way that only he can.

Alternately funny and sad, Those Bastards takes you on an emotional roller coaster, drawing heavily on Dillian's experience with debilitating mental illness and his professional failures, and overflowing with sharp critiques on music and culture. He moves effortlessly from topic to topic, in one essay riffing on how to use Twitter with honesty and integrity, and in another, describing his experience at the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Those Bastards is a literary sensation, filled with insights on what it means to be human, struggling in a world of uncertainty.
