   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) monicaberger | Jan 22, 2024 |   ) amandanan | Jun 6, 2020 | I would maybe be kinder to Klausner about this book in general if she weren't really down on other women. She makes a point of dismissing women who are mousy and not overtly feminine because they don't fit into her idea of what women should be like. I think she intends for this collection to be empowering, but all she manages to do is reveal how deeply she's internalized patriarchal expectations for who she should be, who other women should be, and what men should do. Also, Klausner needs to come up with some other words to express her feelings besides "ruined panties." That phrase gets old quick. If you do pick this up, don't read the Kindle volume. It's riddled with spelling and formatting errors. (  ) junerain | Apr 9, 2015 | ) ppc10 | Jan 4, 2015 | ) emilyingreen | May 28, 2014 |
 If poorly told, even an epic saga of romantic disappointment can become boring. But in the memoir I Don’t Care About Your Band, the grace that stand-up comedian and former Upright Citizens Brigade performer Julie Klausner manages to dredge up within herself shows that while time may not heal all lovers’ wounds, a razor-sharp sense of humor will scrape off their former poignancy.
Read Julie Klausner's posts on the Penguin Blog In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care About Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love--and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care About Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls who grew up in the shadow of feminism, thinking they could have everything, but end up compromising constantly. The cowards, the kidults, the critics, and the contenders: these are the stars of Klausner's memoir about how hard it is to find a man--good or otherwise--when you're a cynical grown-up exiled in the dregs of Guyville. Off the popularity of her New York Times "Modern Love" piece about getting the brush-off from an indie rock musician, I Don't care About Your Band is marbled with the wry strains of Julie Klausner's precocious curmudgeonry and brimming with truths that anyone who's ever been on a date will relate to. Klausner is an expert at landing herself waist-deep in crazy, time and time again, in part because her experience as a comedy writer (Best Week Ever, TV Funhouse on SNL) and sketch comedian from NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade fuels her philosophy of how any scene should unfold, which is, "What? That sounds crazy? Okay, I'll do it." I Don't Care About Your Band charts a distinctly human journey of a strong-willed but vulnerable protagonist who loves men like it's her job, but who's done with guys who know more about love songs than love. Klausner's is a new outlook on dating in a time of pop culture obsession, and she spent her 20's doing personal field research to back up her philosophies. This is the girl's version of High Fidelity. By turns explicit, funny and moving, Klausner's debut shows the evolution of a young woman who endured myriad encounters with the wrong guys, to emerge with real- world wisdom on matters of the heart. I Don't Care About Your Band is Julie Klausner's manifesto, and every one of us can relate. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
