Sloane Crosley returns to the form that made her a household name in really quite a lot of households: Essays!
From the New York Timesbestselling author Sloane Crosley comes Look Alive Out Therea brand-new collection of essays filled with her trademark hilarity, wit, and charm. The characteristic heart and punch-packing observations are back, but with a newfound coat of maturity. A thin coat. More of a blazer, really.
Fans of I Was Told Thered Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number know Sloane Crosleys life as a series of relatable but madcap misadventures. In Look Alive Out There, whether its scaling active volcanoes, crashing shivas, playing herself on Gossip Girl, befriending swingers, or staring down the barrel of the fertility gun, Crosley continues to rise to the occasion with unmatchable nerve and electric one-liners. And as her subjects become more serious, her essays deliver not just laughs but lasting emotional heft and insight. Crosley has taken up the gauntlets thrown by her predecessorsDorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, David Sedarisand crafted something rare, affecting, and true.
Look Alive Out There arrives on the tenth anniversary of I Was Told Thered be Cake, and Crosleys essays have managed to grow simultaneously more sophisticated and even funnier. And yet shes still very much herself, and its great to have her backand not a moment too soon (or late, for that matter).
