An Amazon Best Book of November 2019: Author and comedian Jenny Slate is a little weird (in a very good way). Her aptly named collection of personal essays, Little Weirds, gives readers a glimpse into her strangely funny and tender, magically delicious mind. Divorced and broken-hearted, Slate returns to her childhood home in Massachusetts—an old house haunted by the ghost of a forlorn sea captain—and mines her rich inner world for stories of birth and death, crafts outrageous dating profiles from a Color-Spirit who loves spicy food and hates rock climbing, and sends formal cease and desist letters to her own boring dreams. Slate’s writing style is deeply personal, yet her prose is crisp to the taste in her retelling of the simple joy of a well-made sardine sandwich and there’s a heft to her language, not unlike the weight of the Meyers lemons she carries in from the backyard. In one particularly poignant story, a psychic tells her to grow up, and Slate allows herself to finally let go and listen to her soft and bruised heart, all of which paved the way for her to become the wild free creature she knows herself to be—the one who’s having her bona fide moment in the spotlight now. —Marlene Kelly "This book is something new and wonderful--honest, funny, positive, completely original, and inspiring in the very best way: it made me remember I was alive."―GEORGE SAUNDERS"Jenny's writing is magical and stylish, just like her. Each essay in Little Weirds feels like a vivid, cinematic experience, full of original observations and unexpected laughs."―MINDY KALING"A man on the 2 Express Train read some of Jenny Slate's Little Weirds over my shoulder. 'What kind of book is this?' he asked. 'The best kind,' I replied."―JOHN MULANEY"This book is like a stovetop goulash, delicious and varied ingredients, prepared perfectly and excellent with bread...I'm sorry, I lost track of the simile."―AMY SEDARIS"Luminous, emotional, lovely, and a little mysterious, this book is something you will savor like a half-remembered, gorgeous dream. You'll finish it feeling like Jenny Slate is your new best friend."―SUSAN ORLEAN, author of THE LIBRARY BOOK and THE ORCHID THIEF"Jenny's writing is wide open, tuneful, tender. She sees the world (and feels the world) like a bug might, two antennae poking out from her head like sensory wands. Reading Little Weirds made me feel tipsy."―DURGA CHEW-BOSE, author of TOO MUCH AND NOT THE MOOD"At once warm, heartbreaking, and erotic...a strange, witty, sad journey into the depths of their author's imagination...devastating in their unfiltered honesty, even optimism...showcasing [Slate's] singular poetic forms of expression."―ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY"A singularly hilarious and horny, but also poignant and tender, collection of writing that beautifully captures Slate's inimitable voice, which is one that, once you've heard it, you want to listen to forever."―NYLON"If you hadn't previously been aware of Slate's dexterity as a storyteller, [Little Weirds] will be your awakening...The thing about Jenny Slate is that her warmth doesn't just come from her openness. It also comes from her ability to say, with her whole chest, something others would keep hushed away. It's why she's the receptacle of the stories people are normally too embarrassed to tell. When someone articulates so clearly her own hopes and worries and small shames, it feels like an opening to share your own in return."―IN STYLE"The inside of Jenny Slate's mind is a fascinating, if unusual, place. In this collage of essays, stories, dreams (both night and day), and pieces that defy easy categorization, the actor and comedian invites readers to pay an extended visit, one that will leave them enlightened, moved and sometimes pleasantly puzzled... a refreshing, original journey."―SHELF AWARENESS
