The best thing about this book, and all of her writing, is that the reader is made to feel like they are taking a master class from their best friend, and you feel right at home with Irby's stories and points of view while also being completely in awe of her craft and wit." - Amber Tamblyn, Vulture "Irby is one of our country's most fierce and foulmouthed authors, whose literary takes on sex, family, and the body are unique in their comedic resonance and full gut-punch power. Her acerbic, raw honesty on the page - often punctuated with all-caps comic parenthetical asides - unflinchingly recounts experiences such as the humiliating intrusion of explosive diarrhea on romantic and borderline-romantic interludes." - Kera Bolonik, New York Magazine "A memoir of the life of a sardonic, at times awkward, at times depressed black woman with Crohn's (an inflammatory-bowel disease) and degenerative arthritis. A sidesplitting polemicist for the most awful situations."- Janet Maslin, The New York Times, Summer Reading Pick
