Thirty Seconds of Goodnight

Press play. Tuck the city in.

Perfect Timing. Terrible City.

A governor's race is heating up. A certain slick-haired Californian keeps showing up in early primary states. There has never been a better moment to gift someone the unauthorized bedtime story of the city he left behind.

It is the gag gift for your friend who fled to Austin, the white elephant winner for the office party, and the coffee table conversation grenade for everyone still holding on in the fog.

Who Is Navin Gruesome?

Nobody knows. Some say he sleeps in a rent-controlled studio he refuses to leave. Some say he was last seen photographing a burning trash can in the Tenderloin. What we can confirm: he loves San Francisco enough to roast it properly.

Any resemblance between the author's name and a certain famous Californian with excellent hair is purely, entirely, and legally coincidental.

About the Book

Goodnight San Francisco is a fully illustrated parody of the classic bedtime story, rewritten for the city that broke everyone's heart. Sixteen richly detailed spreads say goodnight to the self-driving cars, the smash-and-grab crews, BART, the fog of despair over commercial real estate, and yes, the tech bros. It ends with something almost like hope. Almost.

Who is Navin Gruesome?
A pen name, and it's staying that way. Any resemblance to a certain famous Californian with excellent hair is purely intentional parody.

Is it a good gift?
It is built for gifting: white elephant parties, friends who fled to Austin, coworkers who survived the doom loop headlines, and anyone who loves San Francisco enough to laugh about it.
