Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants

Hilarious! I love how she holds nothing back. Jill S. has a potty mouth! Stylistically it's not much, more like reading someone's blog. But a very wickedly funny and insightful person's blog.

Jill Soloway, who wrote for Six Feet Under, is obviously very compelling when creating characters for HBO shows. Although at times she's VERY funny in her memoir, at other times her humor falls flat. Let me compare: I would have read a David Sedaris book of this length in an afternoon. “Tiny Ladies” took me a week. There wasn't anything that grabbed me enough to keep me hooked beyond my general feelings of “gotta finish a book once you start.” The reason this book is worth reading is that I have the suspicion that Soloway discussing her wacky and sometimes painful childhood, zany friends, and general life misadventures in person would be sidesplitting, she is undoubtedly a thoughtful and energetic feminist, and I would like to be her friend. Jill, are you on goodreads? You seem awesome!
