Reviews"[I] immediately, compulsively chugged [this book] straight through to the last gulp of sparkly misanthropy & loving dread. Truly no one like Samantha Irby for making you actually choke (on poop jokes) laughing out loud." --Jia Tolentino, "Samantha Irby is stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny; she's the king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread. I await her books like I await the sweet release of sleep each evening. As always, Irby's writing is as irresistible as a snack tray, as intimately pleasurable as an Irish goodbye." --Jia Tolentino "The only writer who can make me laugh with abandon in public, Samantha Irby follows her breakout collection We Are Never Meeting in Real Life with high-speed treatises on everything from relentless menstruation to 'raising' her stepchildren and the stress of making friends in adulthood. Her signature irreverence is intact, of course, but it can't mask the heart she leaves bleeding on the page." --Julia Kosin, Elle , *Best Books of 2020* "To call Irby, the author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life , one of our culture's most hilariously scathing critics is to partially cover over the fact that a frequent target of her ire is indeed herself. The self-deprecating essayist has singular ability to examine the more cringeworthy aspects of her own life to suggest that modern womanhood has more grit than glamour. Now middle-aged and married, Irby waxes hysterical about everything from the pain of being in public without a smartphone to 'lesbian bed death.'" --OprahMag.com, *LGBTQ Books to Read in 2020* "Samantha Irby may be spending more time in LA, but she's still the same old 'cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person.' (Her words, not ours.) This much is clear in her riotous new book of bad dates, worse food experiences, and general befuddlement at the world." -- Entertainment Weekly , *Most Anticipated Books of 2020* "Irby is still the same bawdy, honest, self-deprecating writer. In her latest collection of essays, she walks us through topics as disparate as her beauty routine ("I just wash the parts of my body that stink, which means--now hold on to your butts--that I don't always wash my legs.") to getting a hysterectomy." -- Buzzfeed , *Most Anticipated Books of 2020* "If you've never heard or read anything by Irby, do yourself a favor and head straight to Google.... Her essays are so relatable, they're healing" -- Washington Independent Review of Books , *Most Anticipated Books of 2020* "These essays from the bestselling Irby come with an irresistible endorsement from Jia Tolentino, who says there is "truly no one like Samantha Irby for making you actually choke (on poop jokes) laughing out loud." --R.O. Kwon, Electric Literature , *Books by Women and Nonbinary Writers of Color to Read in 2020* "Samantha Irby is one of my favorite writers of all time. Her essay collections always make me laugh until I cry, and some of the more emotional moments make me cry until I laugh." --Susie Dumond, Book Riot , *Most Anticipated LGBTQ Books of 2020* "A laugh. A fart. A snort. Or some combination thereof. Be prepared to totally lose control of the noises that come out of your body while reading the latest essay collection from humor writer Samantha Irby." -- Bustle , *Most Anticipated Books of 2020*

SynopsisA Vintage Paperback Original. A new rip-roaring essay collection from the smart, edgy, hilarious, unabashedly raunchy, and bestselling Samantha Irby. Irby is forty, and increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin despite what Inspirational Instagram Infographics have promised her. She has left her job as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, has published successful books and has been friendzoned by Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved into a house with a garden that requires repairs and know-how with her wife in a Blue town in the middle of a Red state where she now hosts book clubs and makes mason jar salads. This is the bourgeois life of a Hallmark Channel dream. She goes on bad dates with new friends, spends weeks in Los Angeles taking meetings with "tv executives slash amateur astrologers" while being a "cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person," "with neck pain and no cartilage in her] knees," who still hides past due bills under her pillow. The essays in this collection draw on the raw, hilarious particulars of Irby's new life.

Samantha Irby: Comic Genuis
One of the best authors I’ve read in decades. Her voice is relatable and real, and I haven’t laughed out loud at a book in years. I can’t get enough of her writing- she’s a comic genius and I can’t recommend her enough.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
