Expressing Sandra Bernhard's perspective on romance, relationships and life itself, these essays shed new light on her life. The book gives readers a whole new set of subjects to see through her sophisticated, sardonic eyes. Sandra Bernhard is the author of Confessions of a Pretty Lady.
I think I was 15 when I picked this up from a used book store somewhere. Since then, it's had many a note scribbled here and there as it's been passed on to family and friends. This was my first exposure to Bernhard and it was well worth it. The excerpts(?) are at times funny or downright hilarious. Other times they take on a melancholic air, but there's always a profound meaning somewhere in there. Though her note to girls trying to get into the Hollywood scene is a bit outdated now (as posted in Cosmo in the 80's), it's still great fun to read. Not a book to be read once and abandoned on a shelf; while I had it, it was a great distraction from my own life once in a while. If you like random thoughts and ideas, or just seeing into another person's life/mind, you've got to grab this book. (Out-of-print or not!)
Absolutely wonderful. Not to be missed!

Sandra is a wonderful writer--obviously strongly influenced by the anecdotal style and devastating epigrams of The Philsophy of Andy Warhol. Jet black comedy about crash-and-burn romances, which acts as a perverse pick-me-up that will keep you cackling for hours!
