SPRINKLE GLITTER ON MY GRAVE: OBSERVATIONS AND RANTS FROM THE CREATOR OF ODD MOM OUT

Book ID/图书代码： 01240016B88948

English Summary/英文概要： From bestselling comedic novelist, writer and star of Bravo! Channel’s Odd Mom Out, SPRINKLE GLITTER ON MY GRAVE features hilariously observant musings, outrageous stories, and highly-relatable rants about family, friendship, marriage, and pop culture.

Imagine if bestselling and award-winning author, producer, director and native New Yorker Nora Ephron had a love child with America’s most-loved comedic scribe David Sedaris. Their spawn would be Jill Kargman, a reluctant Upper East Side socialite turned bestselling novelist turned satirist and now breakout Bravo! TVsitcom star. Here, Kargman collects her thoughts, vents her frustrations and dishes about:

- Her death-obsessed, Addams-like family;
- Her much more famous sister-in-law (Drew Barrymore);
-Why her daughter wants to decorate her headstone with glitter (so that there’ll be no getting rid of her; glitter has a way of sticking with you!)
-The beloved pop culture of her youth (big hair, big lapels, small screens);
-Things that only happen in New York and things that never could;
-The "valor of her ghostly pallor";

Sparing no man, woman, or gender-in-transition her razor-sharp wit, Kargman’s obvious and robust appreciation of life will entertain and inspire. And her backhanded wisdom may just teach us a thing or two. The same humor she brought to her bestselling novel MOMZILLAS (Crown/Archetype), Jill brings to this nonfiction work.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书作者是畅销喜剧小说家、作家以及Bravo!频道的热门剧集“Odd Mom Out“的编剧和主演，书中体现了她敏锐的观察力，还有不少对于亲情、友情、婚姻以及流行文化的热辣评价。

想象一下获奖的畅销书作家、制片人、导演、土生土长的纽约客Nora Ephron和美国最受欢迎的喜剧作家David Sedaris的结合体。是的，这就是Jill Kargman，拘束的上东区名媛摇身一变成为了畅销书小说家，旋即又变身为新一代Bravo!频道热播剧主演。在本书中，Kargman收集了她的思路，发泄了她的各种抱怨：她的迷恋死亡的、简直和“The Addams Family”一样的家庭；她的更为出名的嫂子Drew Barrymore；为什么她女儿希望用亮片来装饰坟墓；年轻时候喜欢的流行文化；那些只在纽约发生的事以及不可能发生在纽约的事；还有“她维持幽灵一般苍白的脸色的勇气”。

Kargman的幽默是锋利的，她可不因为你是男人、女人或者变性人而饶过你。她对于生活的显而易见的正能量将给你带来快乐和灵感。而且她的机智或许也会教会读者些什么。（LYR）
