Humor | Non-Fiction Memoir
In this side-splitting memoir, the former Saturday Night
Live star recounts the hilarious adventures and unexpected
joy of dating and becoming a mother when she least expected
it-at the age of forty-four. Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between
1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So
what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on
the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles
as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are
lesbians." Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for
yoga, dog- sitting, learning Spanish-and dating. After all,
what did a forty- something single woman living in New York
have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for
romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she
met John. Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating
long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her
wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child, and moved to New York
to be a dad. With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking
the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single
friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the
instructor kept tossing out the f-word. Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch's
time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version
of the "happily ever after" story that proves female
comics-like bestsellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler-are
truly having their moment.
