"A story that will stop your heart. A touching striptease of the soul." "Shear is dying to laugh, not to cry. Humor does combat with bordello languor and greasy spare ribs. Humor preserves her dream of becoming an actor and writer, and humor is what teases out the knowledge that steers this generous, poised work: We are all blown sideways through life until we kick away the costume designed for us and fashion a new suit." "Claudia Shear speaks for millions of people. She has managed to capture the frustration in millions of thankless jobs that fill the lives and pockets of millions of Americans." Publisher's noteDubbed "The Ultimate Working Girl" by Newsweek, Claudia Shear takes readers on a wild adventure through the American work force in Blown Sideways Through Life.Have you ever held down a job for money rather than love? Put up with an impossible boss? Been told when and how often to visit the restroom, get a drink, use the phone? Struggled to remember that who you are doesn't depend on what you do?Meet Claudia Shear, a misfit from Brooklyn who grew up dreaming of adventure. Shear rode a wild wave of employment (sixty-four jobs in all) on her way to realizing her dream of becoming an actress. Before landing the starring role in the upcoming film, Body Language, and scoring a deal with Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg for her own sitcom, she worked as (among other things) a pastry chef, a nude model, a waitress (a lot), a receptionist in a whorehouse, a brunch chef on Fire Island, a proofreader on Wall Street (a lot), and an Italian translator. On the surface her life makes for a hilarious tour de resume. But underneath is a universal lesson learned about life in the workplace. AnnotationClaudia Shear's one-woman show at the Cherry Lane Theater in New York was met with universal praise. This is the book. In it she describes, with unabashed humor, the 64 jobs that she's held--from a stint as a pastry chef to her job as a receptionist at a whorehouse. Dubbed "The Ultimate Working Girl" by "Newsweek," Claudia Shear takes readers on a wild adventure through the American work force in "Blown Sideways Through Life."
