Items related to The Potty Mouth at the Table
From the celebrated author best known for the Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club and described as “the funniest writer in the solar system” (The Miami Herald) comes a new laugh-out-loud collection of essays on rudeness.
Pinterest. Foodies. Anne Frank’s underwear. New York Times bestselling author Laurie Notaro—rightfully hailed as “the funniest writer in the solar system” (The Miami Herald)—spares nothing and no one, least of all herself, in this uproarious new collection of essays on rudeness. With the sardonic, self-deprecating wit that makes us all feel a little better about ourselves for identifying with her, Laurie explores her recent misadventures and explains why it’s not her who is nuts, it’s them (and okay, sometimes it’s her too).
Whether confessing that her obsession with buying fabric has reached junior hoarder status or mistaking a friend’s heinous tattoo as temporary, Laurie puts her unique spin—sometimes bizarre, always entertaining—on the many perils of modern living in a mannerless society. From shuddering at the graphic Harry Potter erotica conjured up at a writer’s group to lamenting the sudden ubiquity of quinoa (“It looks like larvae no matter how you cook it”), The Potty Mouth at the Table is whip-smart, unpredictable, and hilarious. In other words, irresistibly Laurie.

About the Author:
Laurie Notaro was a reporter and a daily columnist at the metro daily The Arizona Republic before publishing twelve books of fiction and non-fiction with Random House and Simon and Schuster, several of which have been New York Times bestsellers. Her work covers the genres of humor, women’s fiction, historical fiction, and literary fiction. She was a finalist for the Thurber Prize, and has been awarded the Hearst Award, the Golden Circle Award, and several awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. She lives in Eugene, Oregon.
From Booklist:
Notaro is either the best friend helping to ward off fashion faux pas and warn of impending dating disasters, or the person banned from entering the house even if she was bearing a giant Publisher’s Clearing House check. Sly, snarky, and scornful, Notaro doesn’t suffer fools gladly, but she’d also be the first one to include herself in that category. As she casts her raucously jaundiced eye upon such immediately recognizable contemporary danger zones as the sanctity of one’s personal care products or the pretentiousness of Food Network devotees, Notaro also brings any collateral shame, confusion, and embarrassment right to her own doorstep. Though her husband, mother, siblings, and friends are all foils for her acerbic wit and the unwitting source of much merriment, Notaro selflessly saves her most caustic remarks for her own wacky weaknesses. A wry observer and ribald commentator, Notaro brandishes her zesty brand of irreverent humor like a Day-Glo badge of courage. --Carol Haggas
