You had one job: remember why you walked into the kitchen. *The Parking Lot Has Won Again* is a deeply unqualified study of the modern human attention span - an oddly comforting field guide to losing your keys, your phone (while holding your phone), your car, and occasionally your entire sense of self somewhere between the driveway and the cereal aisle. From the "safe place" that swallows passports whole, to the chair every household secretly buries in clothing, to the drawer of cables that belong to nothing, Victoria Penley catalogs the tiny daily malfunctions that make us feel like we're quietly falling apart - then proves we're all falling apart together. Because adulthood was never gliding through life remembering everything. It's standing in a parking lot, pressing the panic button, whispering: Come on. Come on. You're not losing it. You're just human.

Probably.
