Rezensionen

Blogger and comedian Samantha Irby manages to take life's lemons and turn them into lemonade. From a difficult childhood to awkward romantic encounters, this is a brilliant and heartwarming account of how to keep your chin up and carry on.

'A very, raw, real, funny, excellent look at a life that is complicated like anyone else's. Roxane Gay really loves it and it's had a lot of accolades.'

'Zesty, zeitgeisty humour with real insight'

Irby's essays are by turns eye-wateringly hilarious and down-to-earth and authentic, delivering emotional punches that tell us about what it is to be human. An utterly talented and wickedly funny writer who deserves every success.

No topic is off limits for the bestselling writer and performer, known for her blog Bitches Gotta Eat. You'll devour these hilarious essays.

A memoir of the life of a sardonic, at times awkward, at times depressed black woman with Crohn's (an inflammatory-bowel disease) and degenerative arthritis.. Her acerbic, raw honesty on the page - often punctuated with all-caps comic parenthetical asides - unflinchingly recounts experiences such as the humiliating intrusion of explosive diarrhea on romantic and borderline-romantic interludes.

Samantha Irby is my favorite living writer. Actually, I'll throw in the dead ones too. Screw you, Herman Melville.
