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. Longlisted
for the PEN Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay
“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 Beyoncé 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.
