Review

"A talented prose stylist, she can penetrate the shiny crust of the genre essay and come up with unexpected ideas...."

"Two pieces in particular...show that Daum can transcend tricked-out stand-up to write bravely and with heart. 'Variations on Grief,'... is as viscerally compelling as fiction. 'American Shiksa' is a hilarious, lyrical primer on the exquisite self-torture the role requires--she 'must avoid being stabbed by Norman Mailer,' among other things. It's impressive how Daum can occasionally evoke several levels of sexual, religious, and literary tension in less than 10 words."

Publisher's note

Unearthing hidden faults in the American landscape, one of the most celebrated nonfiction authors delves into the core of our culture, speaking about the search for authenticity and interpersonal connection, the disenchantment of working in the fashion industry, and more. Original.

Annotation

In this collection of witty essays, a 26-year-old self-described shiksa explores the challenges of being an underpaid editorial assistant in New York City, and tells stories of maxing out her Visa and seducing Jewish boys.
