F**k, Now There Are Two of You

Adam Mansbach famously gave voice to two of parenting’s primal struggles in Go the F--k to Sleep and You Have to F--king Eat—the unrivalled pair of New York Times best sellers that ushered in a new era of radical honesty in humour books for parents. But what could possibly be left?

Parents—new, old, expectant—of multiple children already knew the answer and Adam discovered it for himself by having two more kids, less than two years apart. F--k, Now There Are Two of You is a loving monologue about the new addition to the family, addressed to a big sibling and shot through with Adam’s trademark profane truth-telling. Gorgeously illustrated and full of unspoken sentiments channelled directly from the brains of parents worldwide, F--k, Now There Are Two of You articulates all the fears and frustrations attendant to the simple, maths-defying fact that two is a million more kids than one.

As you probably know by now, you shouldn’t read it to a child.





Adam Mansbach’s novels include The End of the Jews (winner of the California Book Award), Angry Black White Boy, Rage is Back and The Dead Run. His fiction and essays have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, the Believer, Granta, the Los Angeles Times and many other publications. Mansbach's 2011 picture book Go the Fuck to Sleep was an international bestseller and one of the most talked-about books of the decade. A viral sensation, it has been published in forty languages.
