Meatheads Say the Realest Things

Meet Chad, a full-fledged Boston meathead-and gym-buff social misfit-whose shaky grasp of reality is anchored mainly by his unswerving loyalty to the New England Patriots. In Chad's world, routine encounters with the fixtures of Beantown life-from the Boston Symphony and the Bunker Hill Monument to the local North End wine store-are filled with wonder and chaos. With twenty darkly hilarious chapters that follow Chad and his head-scratching brand of masculinity as he navigates through a perplexing post-#MeToo landscape of exasperated therapists, confused ex-girlfriends, and sexually transgressive ducks, Colin Fleming has created a devastating and uproarious meditation on the human need-and eternal hope-to be understood.
