YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT hilariously, and candidly, explores the journey of the twenty-first century woman. As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. In YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT, Klein offers-through an incisive collection of real-life stories-a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("Miss sounds like you weigh ninety-nine pounds").Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, YOU'LL GROW OUT OF IT is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice.

A collection of ten stories creates a realm of ""irreverant miracles,"" where civilization-building is a pastime and death is an art, and offers unique interpretations of fear, love, guilt, greed, obligation, and obsession. * * *Fantasy readers of a certain age will recall the untrammeled delight that attended their initial discovery of this field. Years later, if you re still reading fantasy but enjoying it less, you might rediscover that vanished sense of wonder through the fiction of Alexander Jablokov. In these nouvelles and short stories, Jablokov reprises all the pyrotechnical zaniness of the Golden Age, albeit tinctured with the elegance and intelligence that one expects from modern science fiction. With illustrations by J.K. Potter, this first collection by the author of Carve the Sky confirms Jablokov as one of the finest contemporary fantasists: The Breath of Suspension, Living Will, Many Mansions, The Death Artist, At the Cross-Time Jaunters Ball, Above Ancient Seas, Deathbinder, The Ring of Memory, Beneath the Shadow of Her Smile, and A Deeper Sea. Volcanic energy and bountiful invention...the rare short-story collection that can be read with pleasure straight through. --New York Times Book Review Views: 16
