From the celebrated author best known for the Idiot Girlsâ Action-Adventure Club and described as âthe funniest writer in the solar systemâ (The Miami Herald) comes a new laugh-out-loud collection of essays on rudeness.
Pinterest. Foodies. Anne Frankâs underwear. New York Times bestselling author Laurie Notaroârightfully hailed as âthe funniest writer in the solar systemâ (The Miami Herald)âspares nothing and no one, least of all herself, in this uproarious new collection of essays on rudeness. With the sardonic, self-deprecating wit that makes us all feel a little better about ourselves for identifying with her, Laurie explores her recent misadventures and explains why itâs not her who is nuts, itâs them (and okay, sometimes itâs her too).
Whether confessing that her obsession with buying fabric has reached junior hoarder status or mistaking a friendâs heinous tattoo as temporary, Laurie puts her unique spinâsometimes bizarre, always entertainingâon the many perils of modern living in a mannerless society. From shuddering at the graphic Harry Potter erotica conjured up at a writerâs group to lamenting the sudden ubiquity of quinoa (âIt looks like larvae no matter how you cook itâ), The Potty Mouth at the Table is whip-smart, unpredictable, and hilarious. In other words, irresistibly Laurie.
