Free Range Chickens by Adrienne Rich

An irreverent collection of ultra-short humor pieces—sketches, lists, and tiny stories—that riff on dating, family, jealousy, and modern anxieties with surreal twists and deadpan punch lines. Each vignette spins a simple what-if premise into an absurd scenario—mythic heroes in therapy, jealous exes in the afterlife, office memos from Cupid—delivering rapid-fire jokes and wry observations about how we love, compete, and overthink in contemporary life.
