Wry, hilarious, and profoundly genuine, this debut collection of
literary essays from Sloane Crosley is a celebration of fallibility
and haplessness in all their glory.
From despoiling an exhibit at the Natural History Museum to
provoking the ire of her first boss to siccing the cops on her
mysterious neighbor, Crosley can do no right despite the best of
intentions -- or perhaps because of them. Together, these essays
create a startlingly funny and revealing portrait of a complex and
utterly recognizable character who aims for the stars but hits the
ceiling, and the inimitable city that has helped shape who she is.
"I Was Told There'd Be Cake" introduces a strikingly original
voice, chronicling the struggles and unexpected beauty of modern
urban life.
Sloane Crosley is also the author of "How Did You Get This
Number."
