Synopsis

Let's get one thing straight. I'm not. I'm out and proud. When I'm out and it's raining I carry an umbrella. I used to be in but I hate the smell of mothballs. My closet was huge, complete with a foyer, turnstile, a few dead bolts, and a burglar alarm that had to be deactivated before I could even touch the door handle. And then there was the storm door. It wasn't until I had lived and slept with a woman for a year that it occurred to me to ask, "Do you think we're lesbians?" By the way, never come out to your father in a moving vehicle.

Now I've written a book. It's not as easy as it looks. One night, I was working late on my computer when a little message came up on the screen, "You are almost out of memory." Here are my thoughts and observations on everything from gay marriage (Mad Vow Disease) to my morbid fear of mascots (with the exception of the San Diego Chicken). That's all I'm going to say because I don't want to spoil it for you. That's a job for Jesse Helms.

About this title

Review:

"Girls with mascara--watch out! Kate will have it running down your cheeks in no time flat. Thank heaven Kate did get started. She makes the world a funnier place."
--ROSIE O'DONNELL

"Kate Clinton is a hero to women, to feminists, to lesbians, and to anyone who loves a good laugh. Don't Get Me Started is laugh-out-loud funny. Do yourself a favor. Buy this book--and get ready to laugh."
--Bay Area Reporter

"SASSY . . . WICKED . . . HILARIOUS . . . BOTH HUGELY ENTERTAINING AND PROUDLY LIBERATING."
--Q San Francisco

"Kate Clinton manages the neat trick of being deliciously sane. Her book is a joy, filled with tasty, politically dangerous thoughts; Kate is the person you want to sit next to in the back row."
--PAUL RUDNICK

From the Publisher:

Don't Get Me Started sounds great on audio.
Kate Clinton is truly a one-of-a-kind comedien and her first book, Don't Get Me Started (hey--did you see Kate on "Rosie!") is a terrific glimpse into her unique and very funny take on politics, modern living, families, and relationships. And that's just Kate getting started. This audiobook is filled with Kate telling it how she sees it and because we captured all this in the recording studio, you get to hear it all. We've also include some very tasty audio clips of Kate's laugh till it hurts stand-up routines!!! This is truly a special audiobook listening experience. If you've seen Kate performing you already love her so this audiobook should be in your collection and if you haven't seen Kate live --just do it! DON'T GET ME STARTED will get you started being a Kate Clinton fan !
