InAutobiography of a Fat Bride, Laurie Notaro tries painfully to make the transition from all-night partyer and bar-stool regular to mortgagee with plumbing problems and no air-conditioning. Laurie finds grown-up life just as harrowing as her reckless youth, as she meets Mr. Right, moves in, settles down, and crosses the toe-stubbing threshold of matrimony. From her mother's grade-school warning to avoid kids in tie-dyed shirts because their hippie parents spent their food money on drugs and art supplies; to her night-before-the-wedding panic over whether her religion is the one where you step on the glass; to her unfortunate overpreparation for the mandatory drug-screening urine test at work; to her audition as aPlayboycenterfold as research for a newspaper story,Autobiography of a Fat Bridehas the same zits-and-all candor and outrageous humor that made Idiot Girls an instant cult phenomenon.
InAutobiography of a Fat Bride, Laurie contemplates family, home improvement, and the horrible tyrannies of cosmetic saleswomen. She finds that life doesn't necessarily get any easier as you get older. But it does get funnier.作者简介Laurie Notaro has never written forRolling Stone,Esquire,Harper's,The New Yorker,Lowrider,American Logger,Farm Show, orMcSweeney's.
