Produktbeschreibung

A wild, soulful, hilarious chronicle of becoming a mother as you've never seen before, from the bestselling author, actor, comedian and co-creator of Marcel the Shell What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find a person to love who would love her, and there was a deep dark loneliness she had to face and befriend, and then she did fall in love, and she was like chimes then, or a flock of clean breaths, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love. And then what happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing, and then she exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a global plague, and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal - but was this normal, and had she or anything ever been normal? Herein lies an account of this journey, told in the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a stork, fantasy therapy sessions, gossip between racoons, excerpts from an imaginary old-timey play, theories about post-partum hair loss, and more. No one writes like Jenny Slate. 'A singular, zigzagging voice' New York Times 'Absurdist humor, magical realism, fanciful self-reflection . . . Jenny Slate is inviting you to the dreamscape of her mind' Washington Post 'A quirky, totally original book' San Francisco Book Review
