Synopsis:
“Like fellow humorists Merrill Markoe and David Sedaris, she makes the most of her misfit existence . . . both harrowing and hilarious.” ―Booklist (starred review)
Known widely for her role in Strangers with Candy and her public radio appearances, Sarah Thyre delves here into her past as a middle child raised middle class and stuck out in the middle of Louisiana. Even from a young age, Sarah found ways of shirking her own hated identity, whether by stealing someone else’s or lying about her own. She changed her name, claimed to be a great outdoorsman, and solicited donations for her favorite charity which turned out to be, in fact, her. In addition, Sarah lived through her parents’ violent struggles and often troubled finances―and the stories with which she emerged populate this dark yet delightfully funny memoir.
“Brilliantly observed and remarkably humane . . . a charmer.” ―People
“Part Mary Karr, part Jean Kerr . . . with plenty of snap and no self-pity.” ―Entertainment Weekly
About the Author: An actress and writer, Sarah Thyre has appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Strangers with Candy and performed her own work at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theaters, Sit n' Spin at the Comedy Central Stage, and on Public Radio International. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children.
