DON'T GET ME STARTED

The pace is fast, the humor is smart. For those who have never heard Clinton's one-woman shows, the live perform-ance excerpts used at the start and finish of each tape will provide a good sampling. The text of the audiobook is in a slightly more serious tone than the performance clips, still resulting in a very funny series of observations. A self-described fumerist (feminist humorist), Clinton offers her thoughts about being a lesbian and a comic who confronts controversial political issues head on, as well as many of the everyday situations that illustrate the consequences of her politics. Clinton's comedic timing is right on target in this thought-provoking first book. J.E.M. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 99]
