SUMMARY:Jessi Klein: You'll Grow Out of It
DESCRIPTION:A Nora Ephron for a new generation\, Jessi Klein shares her hilarious and moving stories of growing up awkward\, the lengths she’s gone to in the pursuit of womanhood and emulation of Oprah\, and how wedding websites are going to be the end of all of us. \nYou’ll Grow Out of It hilariously\, and candidly\, explores the journey of the twenty-first century woman. \nAs both a tomboy and a late bloomer\, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. \nIn You’ll Grow Out of It\, Klein offers through an incisive collection of real life stories a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her “transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man\,” attempting to find watchable porn\, and identifying the difference between being called “ma’am” and “miss” (“Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds”). \nRaw\, relatable\, and consistently hilarious\, You’ll Grow Out of It is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice.

SUMMARY:Joy Williams: Ninety-Nine Stories of God
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Joy Williams: \n“Joy Williams has been enlightening us for a very long time about the short story but now in her collected stories we see the breadth and power of her vision. This is an important moment for American writing.” — Thomas McGuane \n“Joy Williams has produced a hard\, sharp\, comic novel about the off-kilter genius of adolescence–a work of maverick insight and rash and beautiful bursts of language.” – Don DeLillo on The Quick and the Dead \n“Beautiful. . . . Unsettling. . . . [Contains] among the best American short stories of the past two decades.”  – The Atlantic Monthly \n“A brilliant spawn of Raymond Carver and Flannery O’Connor\, Joy Williams blends mordant wit\, uncanny characters\, and weirdly familiar landscapes and locales. . . . By turns these narratives soothe\, then surprise\, then shock with jolts of recognition\, recoil\, and naked redemption.”  – Elle \n\nAbout Ninety-Nine Stories of God: \nFrom “quite possibly America’s best living writer of short stories” (NPR)\, Ninety-Nine Stories of God finds Joy Williams reeling between the sublime and the surreal\, knocking down the barriers between the workaday and the divine. \n  \nPulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Joy Williams has a one-of-a-kind gift for capturing both the absurdity and the darkness of everyday life. In Ninety-Nine Stories of God\, she takes on one of mankind’s most confounding preoccupations: the Supreme Being. \n  \nThis series of short\, fictional vignettes explores our day-to-day interactions with an ever-elusive and arbitrary God. It’s the Book of Common Prayer as seen through a looking glass―a powerfully vivid collection of seemingly random life moments. The figures that haunt these stories range from Kafka (talking to a fish) to the Aztecs\, Tolstoy to Abraham and Sarah\, O. J. Simpson to a pack of wolves. Most of Williams’s characters\, however\, are like the rest of us: anonymous strivers and bumblers who brush up against God in the least expected places or go searching for Him when He’s standing right there. The Lord shows up at a hot-dog-eating contest\, a demolition derby\, a formal gala\, and a drugstore\, where he’s in line to get a shingles vaccination. At turns comic and yearning\, lyric and aphoristic\, Ninety-Nine Stories of God serves as a pure distillation of one of our great artists.
