Welcome to the world of Sandra Bernhard; sophisticated, sardonic, and witty, nothing escapes her acute eye and sharp tongue. With her pitch-perfect sense of style and humour, Bernhard chronicles the thrill of emergency vehicles, whu she moved bak to suburbia, a traumatic abortion, tattoos, the art of manicures. Her prose is both biting and vulnerable, feminine and tough. Whether reminiscing about her doctor-father learning hypnosis or her mother's fascination with all things Japanese, her stories are powerful, funny, scathing, erotic, and at times unsettling. The book captures perfectly the strong, subversive humour that she is known for. 20. Near Fine/Fine.
