The much awaited follow-up essay collection by Jessi Klein, the author of the critically acclaimed first New York Times bestseller You'll Grow Out of It.
"There are moments when I want to crawl under the bed and stay there forever because there is so much horrible stuff that has occurred, and I have so much awful news to share with my child. The CVS receipt scroll goes on forever. How are we going to notify them about this? We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel, please, and then be ready for questions. What should be asked first is, "How is this song being played on the radio?"
In her second book, New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning writer and director Jessi Klein explores the humiliations, poignancies, and possibilities of midlife while gleefully dispelling societal clichés and impossibly high expectations around parenting.
Klein examines this stage of life in all its cruel ironies, happy moments, and bittersweetness in interconnected essays like "Listening to Beyonc⿽ in the Parking Lot of Party City," "Your Husband Will Remarry Five Minutes After You Die," "Eulogy for My Feet," and "An Open Love Letter to Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent."
Composed with Klein's characteristic openness and empathy, I'll Show Myself Out is a sharp, poignant, and often raucous anthology.
