Summary:
“If Tina Fey and David Sedaris had a child, she’d be Maeve Higgins.” -Glamour
A startlingly hilarious article collection about one woman’s messy way to getting her footing in NEW YORK, from breakout comedy superstar and podcaster Maeve Higgins
Maeve Higgins was a bestselling writer and comedian in her native Ireland when, on the grand old age of thirty-one, she left the only home she’d ever known searching for something more and found herself in New York City. Together, about Maeve in America: Essays by a Girl from Somewhere Else the essays in Maeve in America create a good, funny, and uncovering portrait of a woman who goals for the celebrities but sometimes strikes the ceiling and the inimitable town that helped make her who she actually is.
Here are tales of not having the ability to afford a dress for the ball, of understanding how to live with yourself while you’re still determining how to like yourself, of the true significance of realizing what sort of shelter pet you would be. Self-aware and laugh-out-loud funny, this collection can be a fearless exploration of the uncomfortable questions in life, such as for example: Is clapping as well loudly at a gig an excellent enough reason to split up with someone? Could it be ever really possible to leave home?
“Maeve Higgins is usually hilarious, poignant, conversational, and my favorite Irish import since U2. You’re in for a treat.” -Phoebe Robinson
