You will be occasionally disgusted and then realize how much you relate to her. Featuring her beloved blog posts and plenty of new work, essays like "This is Why I'm Poor" and "How to Get Your Disgusting Meat Carcass Ready for Some New, Hot Sex" will have you squirming and laughing at the same time. Her first collection, Meaty, was released in 2013 by local publisher Curbside Splendor. A lady shouldn't talk about her bowel movements in great detail, right? She writes about the things you were taught to never say out loud. She discusses struggles with poverty, death and chronic disease with her trademark wit and self-deprecation. Irby's essays embrace life's awkward moments. Her blog, Bitches Gotta Eat, endeared her to the internet forever and brought her humor to a larger audience. DescriptionWhether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making adult budgets explaining why she should be. For years, however, Chicago comedy and lit lovers in the know heard her at various readings around the city (Guts & Glory, The Paper Machete). OK, so Samantha Irby fled Chicago a while ago and now proudly resides in Michigan. Irby, Samantha (c) Kirsten Jennings.jpg by Kirsten Jennings / Cropped from original
