Sinopse
A laugh-out-loud spin on the realities, perks, opportunities, and inevitable courses of midlife.
Laurie Notaro has proved everyone wrong: she didn’t end up in rehab, prison, or cremated at a tender age. She just went gray. At past fifty, every hair’s root is a symbol of knowledge (she knows how to use a landline), experience (she rode in a car with no seat belts), and superpowers (a gray-haired lady can get away with anything).
Though navigating midlife is initially upsetting—the cracking noises coming from her new old body, receiving regular junk mail from mortuaries—Laurie accepts it. And then some. With unintentional abandon, she shoplifts a bag of russet potatoes. Heckles a rude driver from her beat-up Prius. And engages in epic trolling on Nextdoor.com. That, says Laurie, is the brilliance of growing older. With each passing day, you lose an equivalent amount of fear.
And the #1 New York Times bestselling author has never been so fearlessly funny as she is in this empowering, candid, and enlightening memoir about living life on the other side of fifty.
Resumo da Crítica
“Narrator Hillary Huber’s winsome performance grounds the author’s raucous humor and candid takes on the life of a 50-something woman. Huber intimately conveys Notaro’s observation that women somehow become invisible once they reach midlife.… These irreverent, sometimes profane, narratives strike a universal chord that will have listeners rolling with laughter at Notaro’s escapades, while also nodding their heads in agreement. This wickedly fun look at the adventures of aging should appeal to Notaro’s many fans and to readers who enjoy Jen Mann, Annabelle Gurwitch, and Jessi Klein.”—Library Journal
“Witty and full of sarcastic energy, the author fearlessly tackles what it means to get old…Unplugged, refreshingly off the hook, and consistently entertaining.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Notaro’s fans who’ve aged right alongside her will feel like they’re on a call with a best friend.”—Publishers Weekly
