A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body: Tales from a Life of Cringe

by Lauren Weedman

A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body: Tales from a Life of Cringe Cover

Staff Pick

The funniest book I've read in years, Lauren Weedman's A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body made my face hurt with laughter. I compulsively read it out loud to whomever happened to be around, and recommended it to everyone I met. A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body is hilarious, painful, and smart as hell, and Lauren Weedman is my new antihero.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lauren Weedman's hilarious essays read like a compendium of what not to do as a fully-realized, functional adult. Her self-deprecating, confessional, and terribly funny voice finds a special place in the hearts of those who can relate to her — which, for better or worse, includes all of us. From the uproarious account of her time at the Daily Show, where she developed an entirely one-sided infatuation with Jon Stewart, to the time she read her boyfriend's diary with disastrous results, Lauren's work is filled with the wit, honesty, and personality that make for great personal writing.

Review:

"Sincerely funny stuff from a welcome new original voice on the humor-literature scene....If Sedaris were a heterosexual woman, he might well be Weedman." Kirkus Reviews
