"Vibrant and entertaining, relatable and poignant, and above all,
it's funny." - Los Angeles Times "Iliza is exceptionally funny. If
this book doesn't make you laugh, it means you can't read. In which
case, disregard." --Jimmy Kimmel From the razor-sharp mind of
comedian Iliza Shlesinger, a collection of hilarious and insightful
essays about the exasperating issues of everyday life "A book for
everyone wrestling with what it means to show up for ourselves and
the world today. I love Iliza, and I love her advice." --Rebecca
Serle, New York Times bestselling author of One Italian Summer
"Send me a copy of your book and I'll read it." --Sharon Stone "All
Things Aside . . . is Iliza: fresh, funny, and a reinvention of the
form." --Ted Sarandos, co-CEO, Netflix All Things Aside is a
punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world
through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro
to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic
style. Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into
the next, making her hilarious asides the meat of her stories, much
like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting
social expectations to the notion that products marketed
specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in
between. She even dares to ask herself the all-important question
that every woman is forced to consider at some point--Am I actually
an annoying person? Shlesinger also shares intimate moments,
including a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate
not only with grace but somehow with side-splitting humor. As
Margaret Cho explains in the book's foreword, "Every woman has
something to gain from the Everywoman Iliza presents in her
hilarious and astute worldview. . . . I've learned [from Iliza]
that you don't have to quit when you are in pain, that you can
write your way out of the suffering. That there is beautiful truth
to be unearthed from the depths of despair. That the stupid can be
smart and that we put ourselves through hell for nothing." All
Things Aside offers unexpected insights, much-needed truths, and
tons and tons of laughs.
Fob (noun)-derived from the acronym F.O.B. ("fresh off the boat")
Does your mom still make Peking duck instead of turkey on
Thanksgiving, own a giant cleaver, or take twenty-four more napkins
than she needs at Chipotle?
Your mom may be a fob.
Through their hit blog "My Mom Is a Fob," Teresa and Serena Wu
have seized ownership of this formerly derogatory term, applying it
instead to the heartfelt, hilarious, and thoroughly unique ways
that Asian mothers adapt to American culture, from the perspective
of those who love them most: their children.
Through texts, emails, phone calls, and more, "My Mom Is a Fob"
showcases the stories of a community of Asian-American kids who
know exactly what it's like to be on the receiving end of that
amazing, unconditional, and sometimes misspelled love. It's about
those Asian mothers who refuse to get in the car without their
sun-protective arm sheaths, the ones who send us passive-aggressive
text messages "from the dog" in hopes that we'll call home, and
email us unsolicited advice about everything from homosexuality to
constipation. In these pages you'll find solace in the fact that
thousands of moms out there are as painfully nosy, unintentionally
hilarious, and endearingly fobby as yours is.
Comedian. Icon. TV star. Role model. Trash talker. Fag hag. Gypsy. Tramp. Thief. Margaret Cho displays her numerous sides in this funny, fierce, and honest memoir. As one of the country’s most visible Asian Americans, she has a unique perspective on identity and acceptance. As one of the country’s funniest and most quoted personalities, she takes no prisoners. And as a warm and wise woman who has seen the highs and lows of life, she has words of encouragement for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. With I’m the One That I Want, Margaret Cho has written a book every bit as hilarious, shocking, and insightful as she is.
