QUIETLY HOSTILE Essays

Samantha Irby narrates her fourth essay collection, bringing her customary sharp observations and comedic timing to her performance. Irby heads to Hollywood, writing for the reboot of "Sex in the City" and pitching her own show to an endless series of networks. Irby's humor shines in her descriptions of living with inflammatory bowel disease. Her voice is filled with glee as she describes some of the worst times she's been struck with diarrhea--like when she was making a catering delivery to a wedding and found herself in the same bathroom as the bride. Whether she's recounting the details of adopting a horrible new dog or her QVC addiction, Irby's storytelling and narration will have listeners laughing out loud.
