In this dazzling collection, each essay skillfully constructed and brimming with emotion, she shares her thoughts on the joys and vagaries of modern-day womanhood and motherhood, introduces the not-quite-typical family that made her who she is, and persuasively argues that lowbrow pop culture is the perfect lens through which to examine human nature. Whether she's extolling the virtues of eating in bed, processing the humiliation over her father's late in life perm, mourning her mother's passing, or revealing her patented method for keeping the mystery alive in a marriage, Casey is witty, candid, and full of poignant and funny surprises. Humorous dives into her obsessions and areas of personal expertise--self-help, nice guys, cool girls (not her) and how to receive visitors in the bath--are matched by touching meditations on female friendship, anger, grief, motherhood, and identity. Reading The Wreckage of My Presence is like spending time with a close friend--a deeply passionate, full-tilt, joyous, excessive, compulsive, shameless, hungry-for-it-all, loyal, cheerleading friend. A friend who is ready for any big feelings that come her way--and isn't afraid to embrace them. 600 10 $a Wilson, Casey $d 1980- $v Humor 650 0 $a Women $v Humor 650 0 $a Actors $v Biography 650 0 $a Comedians $v Biography 655 4 $a Autobiographies 941 $a 1 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20230901010521.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E37D1A4C488C11EE9762855E3EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
