A collection of hybrid feminist narratives on our paradoxically catastrophe-ridden yet mundane lives.

Laurie Stone is the best writer I have encountered in quite a while. Her writing grabs me and in a sentence or two, I am in the middle of it. —JOHN LURIE, musician, painter, actor, director, and producer

Somewhere along the way one recognizes that a simple seeming collection of pensées is really the coherent exploration of a distinct and valuable cultural point of view, one that we might have lost contact with, and that we are lucky to still have. —VINCE PASSARO, author of Violence, Nudity, Adult Content

[S]hows Stone’s gifts as a critic....Fans of creative nonfiction will find Stone an animated guide to these disjointed times. —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

A witty, brutally honest meditation on how we live now, and most importantly, on the life worth living. Nothing is too small or too large for Laurie Stone’s laser vision—her willingness to say the things we’re not supposed to say or admit to doing the things we’re not supposed to do—all of which will keep you reading this book in one mad dash. —GLORIA JACOBS, editor and activist
