Everything by George Saunders, start with the Pastoralia or In Persuasion Nation short story collections. He's a sardonic genius perfect for any teenager (especially if you love Vonnegut)
Also, the obvious: Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by the one and only Dave Eggers -

I hate to say it, but this type of programming has no place on network television (or, really, cable television). I am wholly sympathetic to your work and this type of "expose", but it just doesn't have a place on our airwaves. The systematic process of berating celebrities or carefully chosen team members (by corporate structures) has a place because we have accepted it, companies have produced it, and, therefore, sponsors support it.
Film festivals, the internet, and public access groups are the best places for this type of program. Adbusters would also be a great venue, but their reach is limited. Even a program as risque as Family Guy has to fall within certain mores and norms. Unfortunately, real honesty isn't one of them.
