An instant New York Times bestseller, I'll Show Myself Out is the
eagerly anticipated second essay collection from Jessi Klein,
author of the acclaimed debut You'll Grow Out of It. "Sometimes I
think about how much bad news there is to tell my kid, the
endlessly long, looping CVS receipt scroll of truly terrible things
that have happened, and I want to get under the bed and never come
out. How do we tell them about all this? Can we just play Billy
Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire and then brace for questions? The
first of which should be, how is this a song that played on the
radio?" In New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning
writer and producer Jessi Klein's second collection, she
hilariously explodes the cultural myths and impossible expectations
around motherhood and explore the humiliations, poignancies, and
possibilities of midlife. In interconnected essays like "Listening
to Beyonce in the Parking Lot of Party City," "Your Husband Will
Remarry Five Minutes After You Die," "Eulogy for My Feet," and "An
Open Love Letter to Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent," Klein explores
this stage of life in all its cruel ironies, joyous moments, and
bittersweetness. Written with Klein's signature candor and
humanity, I'll Show Myself Out is an incisive, moving, and often
uproarious collection.
