Dan Zevin is the author of Dan Gets a Minivan: Life at the Intersection of Dude and Dad, coming in hardcover this spring from Scribner. His previous book, The Day I Turned Uncool: Confessions of a Reluctant Grownup, was optioned by Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions. A finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor, Dan has followed his readers through each phase of life, from post-college coping (Entry-Level Life) to tying the knot (The Nearly-wed Handbook) to developing a disturbing new interest in lawn care and wine tastings (Uncool). And that was all before he had kids. Which leads us back to this minivan situation.
Dan has been a comic correspondent for National Public Radio’s WBUR, the humor columnist for Boston Magazine and the Boston Phoenix, and a contributor to national publications including Rolling Stone, Maxim, Details, Elle, and Glamour. He also wrote an original sitcom pilot for CBS and Warner Brothers.
