{"product_id":"9781451656145","title":"Dan Gets a Minivan: Life at the Intersection of Dude and Dad","description":"\u003cb\u003eA coming-of-middle-age tale told with warmth and wit, Dan Gets a Minivan provides the one thing every parent really needs: comic relief. Whether you’re a dude, a dad, or someone who’s married to either, fasten your seat belt and prepare to crack up. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eT\u003c\/b\u003ehe least hip citizen of Brooklyn, Dan Zevin has a working wife, two small children, a mother who visits each week to “help,” and an obese Labrador mutt who prefers to be driven rather than walked. How he got to this point is a bit of a blur. There was a wedding, and then there was a puppy. A home was purchased in New England. A wife was promoted and transferred to New York. A town house. A new baby boy. A new baby girl. A stay-at-home dad was born. A prescription for Xanax was filled. Gray hairs appeared; gray hairs fell out. Six years passed in six seconds. And then came the minivan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDan Zevin, master of “Seinfeld-ian nothingness” (Time), is trying his best to make the transition from couplehood to familyhood. Acclimating to the adult-oriented lifestyle has never been his strong suit, and this slice-of-midlife story chronicles the whole hilarious journey—from instituting date night to joining Costco; from touring Disneyland to recovering from knee surgery; from losing ambition to gaining perspective. Where it’s all heading is anyone’s guess, but, for Dan, suburbia’s calling—and his minivan has GPS.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155601113328,"sku":"9781451656145","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451656145_p0.jpg?v=1763841689","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451656145","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
