Moranthology

Blurb

The follow up to her bestselling breakout hit How to Be a Woman , Moranthology is a hilarious, insightful collection of Moran’s London Times columns that confirms her status as “the UK’s answer to Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, and Lena Dunham all rolled into one.” ( Marie Claire ) Possibly the only drawback about the bestselling How to Be a Woman was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one subject: being a woman. Moranthology is proof that Caitlin can actually be “quite chatty” about many other things, including cultural, social and political issues that are usually the province of learned professors, or hot-shot wonks—and not of a woman who once, as an experiment, put a wasp in a jar, and got it stoned. Here you’ll find Caitlin ruminating on—and sometimes interviewing—subjects as varied as caffeine, Keith Richards, Ghostbusters , Twitter, the welfare state, the royal wedding, Lady Gaga, and her own mortality, to name just a few. With her “brilliant, original voice” ( Publishers Weekly ), Caitlin brings insight and humor to everything she writes. What happens when the UK’s sharpest columnist turns her sights on… everything? Candid Memoir: From getting a wasp stoned as a teenager to navigating marriage, Moran holds nothing back in these deeply personal and laugh-out-loud funny essays. Celebrity Interviews: Go backstage with Lady Gaga at a Berlin sex club, share a cigarette with Keith Richards, and spend the day with Paul McCartney. Feminist Essays: Sharp, insightful, and never preachy, Moran tackles everything from the case for employment quotas to the complicated politics of a woman’s wardrobe. Pop Culture Deep Dives: Find out why Ghostbusters is the greatest film of all time and explore the "frumious Cumberbatch" in her celebrated reviews of Sherlock .
