The Littlest Hitler: Stories

Exploring absurdity and dark humor, this debut collection presents 13 stories set in a regimented near-future. Each narrative, from a woman executive sporting a "Bee Beard" to high-school graduates earning scholarships through murder, critiques societal norms with sharp black comedy. The title story features a boy dressed as Hitler confronting his feelings for a girl dressed as Anne Frank, while "So Little Time" juxtaposes youthful fantasies against harsh realities. Boudinot's work oscillates between tiresome shtick and thought-provoking, explosive humor.
