08.04: What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding: A Memoir
2014-07-16 01:40:55| Powells Books Events Calendar
Kristin Newman spent much of her 20s and 30s buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer (That '70s Show, Chuck, and How I Met Your Mother), Newman instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed. Newman introduces readers to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road — a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding (Three Rivers Press) is a funny, sexy, and ultimately poignant memoir that will have readers rushing to renew their passports.
