From the razor-sharp mind of award-winning comedian Iliza Shlesinger, a collection of hilarious and insightful essays about the exasperating issues of everyday life
Foreword by Margaret Cho
"Vibrant and entertaining, relatable and poignant, and above all, it's funny." —Los Angeles Times
"Iliza is exceptionally funny. If this book doesn't make you laugh, it means you can't read. In which case, disregard." —Jimmy Kimmel
"A book for everyone wrestling with what it means to show up for ourselves and the world today. I love Iliza, and I love her advice." —New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Serle
All Things Aside is a punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic style.
Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, making her hilarious asides the meat of her stories, much like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between. She even dares to ask herself the all-important question that every woman is forced to consider at some point: Am I actually an annoying person? Shlesinger also shares intimate moments, including a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate not only with grace but somehow with side-splitting humor.
All Things Aside offers unexpected insights, much-needed truths, and tons and tons of laughs.
