Go the Fuck to Sleep

Go the Fuck to Sleep is a 2011 children's book Pastiche by Adam Mansbach.

It is the lament of a man whose child will not go the fuck to sleep. It went viral in galleys, and was then helped by an audiobook read by Samuel L. Jackson.


 * Affectionate Parody: of the rhyming, saccharine books normally read to small children at bedtime. This one assuredly cannot be read to a child at bedtime or any other time.
 * Cluster F-Bomb
 * Gag Censor: On the book's cover, the central word in the title is obscured by the Moon.
 * Shaggy Dog Story:
 * Subverted Kids Book: What with the swearing and all.
 * Write What You Know: The author had a young child, and, well, bedtime was something of a problem.
