Non-Fiction Biography | Humor
The star of Bravoโs breakout scripted comedy Odd Mom Out shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages. From her unique lingo (things donโt simply frighten her, they โM. Night Shyamalan her outโ) to her gimlet-eyed view of narrow-mindedness, to her morbid but curiously life-affirming parenting style, Jill Kargman is nothing if not original. In this hilarious new book, the sharp-elbowed mother of three turns her unconventional lens on life and death and everything in between, including โข the politically correct peer pressure she felt from the new moms in her hood, the women who provided the grist for the mill of her hit television show โข the evolution of her aesthetic from Miami Vice vibrant (a very brief flirtation) to Wednesday Addamsโmeetsโrocker chic โข her deep-seated New Yorkerโs discomfort with moving vehicles that arenโt taxis and subways (a.k.a. โsuburban panic disorderโ) โข the family obsession with reading obituaries for their medical revelations and real estate news value โข the reasons why, in a land of tan-orexic baby-oil beach bakers, she chooses to honor the valor of her ghostly pallor From a hellish visit to the Happiest Place on Earth to her unusual wedding night with Russell Crowe to her adrenaline-pumping Gay Pride parade experience, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is as wonderfully indecent and entertaining as a spring break road trip with your best friend. Assuming your best friend is the kind of gal who still wears a motorcycle jacket to pick up the kids at school.
