All the Women in My Brain

" If DAVID RAKOFF and DAVID SEDARIS had a baby and that baby was Betty." Zoe Kazan If youve ever felt like you were more, or at least weirder, than the world expected? you''re not alone... In this collection, EMMY AWARD-nominated ACTRESS/WRITER Betty Gilpin "writes like an avenging angel, weaving a tapestry of light and darkness, hilarity, and pathos." (Dani Shapiro) Oh. Hi. takes six long gulps of water during which youre like, may I help you? My name is Betty. I have depression. I have passion. I have tits the size of printers. And also: I have a brain full of women. Theres Blanche VonFuckery, Ingrid St. Rash, and a host of otherssome cowering in sweatpants, some howling plans for revolution, and one, oh God, and one . . . slowly vomiting up a crow? Worried for her. These women take turns at the wheel. Thats why I feel like a million selves. With a raised eyebrow and a soul-scalpel, Id like to tell you how I got this way. Because maybe you feel this way too. Lets hop from wild dissections of modern womanhood to boarding school musings to the glossy cringe of Hollywood. Lets laugh at my failures and then quietly hope with me for the dream. Whether that dream is love or liberation or enough IMDB credits to taze the demon snapping at my ankles, we wont know until the shit-fanning end. As a dear friend said after reading this book, its either a masterpiece, or its completely and then she glazed over into a haunted stare. Reader? This book is my opus and it is chaos. Welcome to All the Women in My Brain.
