Women, By Women "Raunchy, funny and vivid...Those faint of heart
beware...strap in and get ready for a roller-coaster ride to
remember."
-- Kirkus Reviews "Amazingly crass, defiant, witty, terrifying, and
wondrous...[Irby] cuts the bawdy, wickedly funny pieces with some
truly poignant palate cleansers...Irby's voice is raw, gripping,
and ...Delicious."
-- Booklist "Her candor in style and subject matter--mostly sex,
dating, and the general lousiness of men--has earned Samantha Irby
a cult following... Honesty mixed with self-deprecating humor is
what propels reader."
-- Time Out Chicago "Samantha Irby is as bad as she wants to
be."
-- Chicago Tribune "Whether she's writing about her latest
inflammatory bowel disease attack or documenting a sexual escapade
gone awry (sometimes simultaneously), you'll most likely be able to
relate to Irby's tell-all book. Her raw honesty and scathing sense
of humor will make you laugh out loud..."
-- JET "There is no summing up Sam--no writerly preface, no
small-talk tidbits, no rundown of vital stats that can suffice. She
is irreducible, like a prime number, or a quark [...] Irby's
writing has a powerfully intimacy, a direct connection between her
and her readers. On the page, she's more an essayist than a
storyteller per se, with the essayist's intellectual
habits--exploring ideas, contradicting herself, poking thoughts to
see if they burst, and then reveling in the mess."
-- Chicago Reader "Irby has the rare ability to divulge her
personal problems to an expansive, invisible Internet audience and
still dazzle a crowded room of literati."
-- Chicago Magazine
