08.03: After a While You Just Get Used to It: A Tale of Family Clutter
2015-07-14 23:03:17| Powells Books Events Calendar
Growing up in a dying breed of eccentric Florida crackers, Gwendolyn Knapp thought she had it rough — what with her pack-rat mother, Margie; her aunt Susie, who has fewer teeth than prison stays; and Margie's bipolar boyfriend, John. But not long after Knapp moves to New Orleans, Margie packs up her House of Hoarders and follows along. Now, like bestselling authors Jenny Lawson, Laurie Notaro, and Julie Klausner before her, Knapp bares her sad and twisted life for readers everywhere to enjoy. After a While You Just Get Used to It (Gotham) ups the self-deprecating memoir ante with tragicomic tales of her dysfunctional life in swampland Florida and America's Big Easy.
