Diary of a Mad Diva (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From the headline-making, New York Times bestselling author of I Hate Everyone...Starting With Me comes another intimate glimpse into the delightfully hilarious mind of Joan Rivers. When her daughter Melissa gives her a diary for Christmas, at first Joan is horrified-who the hell does Melissa think she is? That fat pig, Bridget Jones? But as Joan, being both beautiful and introspective, begins to record her day-to-day musings, she realizes she has a lot to say. About everything. And everyone, God help them. The result? A no-holds-barred, delightfully vicious and always hilarious look at the everyday life of the ultimate diva. Follow Joan on a family vacation in Mexico and on trips between New York and Los Angeles where she mingles with the stars, never missing a beat as she delivers blistering critiques on current events, and excoriating insights about life, pop culture, and celebrities (from A to D list), all in her relentlessly funny signature style. This is the Diary of a Mad Diva. Forget about Anais Nin, Anne Frank, and Sylvia Plath. For the first time in a century, a diary by someone that's actually worth reading.

"[A] visciously hilarious memoir."-- Time Out New York

Praise for I Hate Everyone...Starting with Me

"More punch lines per paragraph than any book I've read in years." - The New York Times

"Nobody, but nobody, can hate like Joan Rivers. It is a gift. It is also shocking, the things she makes us laugh at...Joan Rivers is extraordinary, but she's not for the easily offended-or for anyone who gets offended at all." - People

"Often hilarious, often shocking, totally politically incorrect." -Liz Smith

"She holds nothing back." - The Washington Post

"Spares no one." - Huffington Post

"An entertaining rant...The only thing missing is the sound of a drumroll and cymbals to feel as though one is sitting in a nightclub watching a live comedy marathon...A raucous, biting look at life." - Kirkus Reviews

"Rivers is equally passionate and opinionated on every subject she discusses. Hilarious and undeniably original." - Publishers Weekly
