Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (Engli

Description: Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson Even when I was funny, I wasnt this funny. Augusten Burroughs. For fans of Tina Fey, David Sedaris and anyone whos ever felt like a misfit, an outrageously funny and disturbing memoir from Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess. When I tell people that my father is kind of a total lunatic, they laugh and nod knowingly. they assure me that theirs is too, and that hes just a "typical father". And theyre probably right, if the typical father runs a full-time taxidermy business out of the house, and shows up at the local bar with a miniature donkey and a teddy Roosevelt impersonator, and thinks other people are weird for making such a big deal out of it. If the typical father says things like "Happy birthday! Heres a bathtub of raccoons!" or "Well have to take your car. Mine has too much blood in it," then yeah, hes totally normal. When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. that dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a childhood of wearing winter shoes made out of used bread sacks. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humour in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. Lawsons long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments - the ones we want to pretend never happened - are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. Like laughing at a funeral, LEtS PREtEND tHIS NEVER HAPPENED is both irreverent and impossible to hold back once you get started. the Bloggess writes stuff that actually is laugh-out-loud, but you know that really you shouldnt be laughing and probably youll go to hell for laughing, so maybe you shouldnt read it. Neil Gaiman Even when I was funny, I wasnt this funny. Augusten Burroughs, author of RUNNING WItH SCISSORS FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Known for her sardonic wit and her hysterically skewed outlook on life, Jenny Lawson has made millions of people question their own sanity, as they found themselves admitting that they too often wondered why Jesus wasnt classified as a zombie, or laughed to the point of bladder-failure when she accidentally forgot that she mailed herself a cobra. Her blog (thebloggess.com) is award-winning, extremely popular, and she is considered to be one of the funniest writers of our generation by at least three or four people. Promotional ..
