In her debut essay collection, the longtime humorist and performer declares no subject too sacred, no boundary impassable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her eagle eye for the absurd and hilarious, Allen reports from the potholes midway through life's journey. One moment she's flirting shamelessly--and unsuccessfully--with a younger man at a wedding; the next she's stumbling upon X-rated images on her daughter's computer. She ponders the connection between her ex-husband's questions about the location of their silverware, and the divorce that came a year later. While undergoing chemotherapy, she experiments with being a \"wig person.\" And she considers those perplexing questions that we never pause to ask: Why do people say \"It is what it is\"? What's the point of fat-free half-and-half ? And haven't we heard enough about memes?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJenny Allen's musings range fluidly from the personal to the philosophical. She writes with the familiarity of someone telling a dinner party anecdote, forgoing decorum for candor and comedy. To listen to \u003ci\u003eWould Everybody Please Stop?\u003c\/i\u003e is to experience life with imaginative and incisive humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1427288631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781427288639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.80h x 5.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Jenny Allen","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":48518402834687,"sku":"9781427288639","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16db9f75-0ae5-4134-805d-db9b09c9e63d.jpg?v=1778734384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/would-everybody-please-stop-jenny-allen-9781427288639","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
