Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

Publisher Comments

TV writer Hilary Winston offers up a witty collection of autobiographical tales about her misadventures in dating.

Just when Hilary feels like her life is finally in order, she gets a sucker-punch to the gut: Her ex has written a novel based on their relationship in which he refers to her throughout as the fat-assed girlfriend. Her response to this affront is just one of the many hilarious stories in My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me-a laugh-out-loud, tell-all in which Hilary sets the record straight for all her exes. HILARY WINSTON began her career working at the cultural desk at NPR, where she did research for programs like All Things Considered and Morning Edition. She then moved to LOS ANGELES and became a successful comedy writer, first for the Emmy(R)-winning My Name Is Earl and currently for the hit show Community on NBC. Movie rights have been optioned by Paramount with Lorne Michael's company producing

Hilary wrote for the Emmy Award-winning show, My Name is Earl, for which she was nominated for a WGA award. She is now writing and producing for NBC's hit comedy, Community, starring Joel McHale and Chevy Chase

Hilary is developing her own half-hour show for ABC with her partner, Sony Pictures Television

Review

"Winston's memoir is funny, sensitive, and in the end accomplishes what her ex-boyfriend's novel never could--brazenly tell a story of their relationship destined for the nonfiction shelves." --Booklist

Review

"Winston's memoir is funny, sensitive, and in the end accomplishes what her ex-boyfriend's novel never could--brazenly tell a story of their relationship destined for the nonfiction shelves." --Booklist “The stories--snappy, sparse, and conversational--are no-holds barred.”--Women's Wear Daily “A heartfelt and hilarious look at single life in L.A.”--Hollywood Reporter “An unflinchingly honest tome that is so insightful and funny.”--New York Post “Perhaps it's not a typical tale. But then again, nothing is usual in the life of Hilary Winston as she hilariously chronicles in her [book]. . . . Winston bares it all with comedic flair, from seeing just what her ex-boyfriend thought of their five years together (in a nationally distributed novel, no less) to all the not-so-glorious relationships that came before and after.”--Metro New York “Winston's story is emotionally revealing, easy to relate to, and always hilarious.”--Back Stage “With self-deprecating schadenfreude, Community writer Hilary Winston sets her relationship story straight.”--More magazine

 

“A laugh-out-loud, tell-all in which Hilary sets the record straight for all her exes.”--WPIX 11 Morning News

 

“Winston's guiding philosophy appears to be: If it's too embarrassing to talk about, publish it. Her brutal, naked honesty is what anchors the book and makes it both so moving and so entertaining.”--Slate.com
