Аннотация
In witty slice-of-life vignettes and laugh-out-loud cultural riffs, Elizabeth Warner shares her divinely demented view of the world. Raised by a mild-mannered psychiatrist father and a slightly off-kilter mother, Warner opted out of the life that awaited the youth of WASP heaven (aka Philadelphias Main Line)that is, to be typically weaned, whelped, and privately schooled, whereupon you move on to the roost-and-spawn phase. Yet no matter how far afield she venturesto New York to become a master junk-mail marketer or to L.A. to do a little actingWarner cant help but feel that sometimes shes getting nowhere fast on some kind of Protestant monorail to doom.Whether shes spelling out the invisible word help on a guys shoulder blades during unfulfilling sex, getting out of jury duty by smearing herself with soy sauce, or convincing her mother that the words career girl are not her death knell, Warner proves that sometimes it doesnt matter where you go in lifejust as long as youve got a killer punch line.From the Trade Paperback edition.
