![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Meaty was originally published by Curbside Splendor Publishing in 2013, then republished in 2018 with Vintage Books. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is life as written by blood and viscera and fluids and heart, a near to bursting bright red, beating throbbing fighting heart. Whether talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making "adult" budgets, explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette-she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something"-detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes, sharing awkward sexual encounters, or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms-hang in there for the Costco loot-she's as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths. Irby has published four books: We Are Never Meeting in Real Life Meaty New Year, Same Trash and Wow, No Thank You. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is life as written by blood and viscera and fluids and heart, a near to bursting bright red, beating throbbing fighting heart. With We Are Never Meeting in Real Life., "bitches gotta eat" blogger and comedian Samantha Irby turns the serio-comic essay into an art form. Sometimes you just have to laugh, even when life is a dumpster fire. ![]()
