Aaaaw,well… another good blog that’s turned into a book. It seems that the only outcome of a blog is a book, and from a great editorial parti-pris they’re turned into marketing machines, anouncing the release, then the Amazon thing, and then, every two months or so, when they do a blog post (they used to post at least twice a week before being a book), they’ll plug the book at any occasion. See Rules for my Unborn Son.
Of course I could be mistaken.
By the way, please don’t remember this blog post when my book is out with pictures from my trip and texts from my blog. Kthxbye.
My Parents Were Awesome is being released in book form (remember books?) as an anthology of essays on April 5th, available for purchase from Villard Books/Random House.
The book features essays from Dave Itzkoff, David Kamp, Rachel Shukert, Laurie Notaro, and Jamie Deen (son of Paula!), among other talented writers, bloggers, and comedians.
And if you’re in the New York area (or are stalking me), the release party (which is free, of course!) will be on April 5th at 7:00pm at The Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn, at 37 Main Street in D.U.M.B.O. You can RSVP via Facebook, too.
There will be a Q&A, as well as readings from Dave Itzkoff, Rachel Shukert, and Rachel Sklar, and stand-up comedy courtesy of contributor Giulia Rozzi.
There will also be wine! Free wine! Like Ancient Greece! (Maybe?)
Anyway, it’s a really good book - I promise! Hope you can make it out to the release party!
