Dan Gets a Minivan (Hardcover)
$32.91
In the bestselling and beloved tradition of Dave Barry, a coming-of-middle-age tale by Thurber finalist Dan Zevin, master of “Seinfeld-ian nothingness” (Time) about a man’s inevitable transition into mid-life and fatherhood.The 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 being 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 townhouse. A new baby boy. A new baby girl. A stay-at-home dad was born. A prescription for Xanax was filled. Grey hairs appeared, grey hairs fell out. Six years passed in six seconds. And then came the minivan.Not just a daddy book, Dan Gets a Minivan is about a guy who happens to be a dad. Acclimating to adulthood 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.

do minivans get any respect?
my buddie has one and he lives in a bad area in brooklyn and nobody steals or breaks in his minivan because i guess its a minivan and like rodney dangerfleid “gets no respect” haha.
you guys know that i’m sending this to my friend with the minivan haha
No respect. Mine has been broken into, too.
However, when a friend needs to bring home a big TV or some lumber, or my son needs to move his big amp, or our daughter has a free table and chairs if she’ll just pick them up, suddenly my totally uncool minivan is a necessity.
They handle like cars but have capacity like small pick-up trucks, protecting the load from the elements. Mine’s proven itself handy a bazillion times. So laugh all you want!
