Samantha Irby is Mar 2020. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
Samantha Irby's latest essay collection explores marriage, growing older, and settling down in a white, small-town America with stepchildren.
Irby is becoming more self-conscious as she approaches forty years old. She quit her job as a veterinary clinic receptionist, published popular books, got attention from Hollywood, left Chicago, and moved with her spouse and two stepchildren into a house in a small, Republican-voting white town in Michigan. There, she hosted book clubs and had a garden that needed maintenance. This is the idealised existence of the bourgeoisie. She spends weeks in Los Angeles holding meetings with "skinny, luminous peoples" despite being a "cheese fry-eating slightly damp Midwest person," "with neck pain and no cartilage in [her] knees," and she goes on bad dates with her new friends. She also conceals Entenmann's cookies under her bed and new bills under her pillow.
