Synopsis
Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri shares her stories of awkwardness in this insightful and supremely funny debut.
Most twentysomethings avoid awkwardness.
Not Alexandra Petri.
She auditioned for America s Next Top Model. She lost Jeopardy by answering Who is that dude? One time, she let some cult members baptize her, just to be polite. Alexandra Petri is a connoisseur of the kind of awkwardness most people spend lifetimes avoiding. If John Hodgman and Amy Sedaris had a baby. . .they would never let Petri babysit it.
Here, the Washington Post columnist turns her satirical eye on her own life with hilarious results. And she s here to tell you that interesting things start to happen when you stop caring what people think."
