Pinterest. Foodies. Anne Frank’s underwear. <I>New York Times </I>bestselling author Laurie Notaro—rightfully hailed as “the funniest writer in the solar system” (<I>The Miami Herald</I>)—spares nothing and no one, least of all herself, in this uproarious new collection of essays on rudeness. With the sardonic, self-deprecating wit that makes us all feel a little better about ourselves for identifying with her, Laurie explores her recent misadventures and explains why it’s not her who is nuts, it’s them (and okay, sometimes it’s her too). <BR><BR>Whether confessing that her obsession with buying fabric has reached junior hoarder status or mistaking a friend’s heinous tattoo as temporary, Laurie puts her unique spin—sometimes bizarre, always entertaining—on the many perils of modern living in a mannerless society. From shuddering at the graphic Harry Potter erotica conjured up at a writer’s group to lamenting the sudden ubiquity of quinoa (“It looks like larvae no matter how you cook it”), <I>The Potty Mouth at the Table </I>is whip-smart, unpredictable, and hilarious. In other words, irresistibly Laurie.
