Are we living in a shitty heaven or a tender hell? How do we reconcile the horrors of lunatic politicians, white supremicists, and a dying earth with the everyday graces of making soup, picking up the kids from school, and loving our dear ones? Chris Martin picks at the tender scab of our national and individual identities, peeling back the barely cauterized tissue to take a good hard look at the way we navigate that tension. Things to Do in Hell is angry and heartbreaking, but also sophisticated, funny, and wickedly, searingly clever.
