OUT NOW: THE 10-ITEMS-OR-LESS APOCALYPSE

The 10-Items-or-Less Apocalypse is what happens when a stand-up comic raids a think tank and leaves behind only cardboard forts, goat landlords, and a gingerbread HOA lawsuit. This collection of essays is a high-speed collision between cultural critique and comedic chaos—where a shopping cart becomes a philosophical monument, a mouse stages a corporate coup, and a man who uses the very wrong but very right hair gel.

Available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle!

Brian Gerard (Lewandowski) writes books critics call "aggressively adequate"—better than "aggressively terrible" but somehow more concerning. He once traded a MetroCard for a pitchfork on a subway platform and now uses it exclusively for dramatic pointing. He lives on a farm outside Charlottesville, Virginia with three disappointed potted plants, a judgmental pig named Trouble McFussbucket, and a wife who smiles politely at his life choices.
