Publisher's Summary

Have you ever run into your new boss while buying adult diapers? Neither has Scott McGlothlen. But, also like you, Scott has been through a lot of other embarrassing shit. In his debut book, Breaking Glass Balloons: Short Stories of Sheer Embarrassment, the influential blogger behind The Bare InkSlinger exposes the uncomfortable, hilarious, and occasionally darker parts of life.

From the time he almost burned his house down, to taking the SATs with a skin-crawling secret, to finding himself hungover in a dumpster - these are the kind of stories that most would do anything to keep quiet. Scott wants to share them with everyone. While his experiences in these essays are unique, the ideas and feelings are universal.

With brutally honest storytelling that combines his jokey brain, reflective soul, and squishy heart (oh God, it’s so squishy), Scott will make you laugh hysterically, feel deeply, and realize you are more normal than you think. You are guaranteed to know him, and yourself, much better by the end of this revealing set of stories that truly bares it all.
