One of Vanity Fair's Great Quarantine Reads: Step into Jenny Slate's wild imagination in this "magical" (Mindy Kaling), "delicious" (Amy Sedaris), and "poignant" (John Mulaney) New York Times bestseller about love, heartbreak, and being alive -- "this book is something new and wonderful" (George Saunders).

You may "know" Jenny Slate from her Netflix special, Stage Fright, as the creator of Marcel the Shell, or as the star of "Obvious Child." But you don't really know Jenny Slate until you get bonked on the head by her absolutely singular writing style. To see the world through Jenny's eyes is to see it as though for the first time, shimmering with strangeness and possibility.

As she will remind you, we live on an ancient ball that rotates around a bigger ball made up of lights and gasses that are science gasses, not farts (don't be immature). Heartbreak, confusion, and misogyny stalk this blue-green sphere, yes, but it is also a place of wild delight and unconstrained vitality, a place where we can start living as soon as we are born, and we can be born at any time. In her dazzling, impossible-to-categorize debut, Jenny channels the pain and beauty of life in writing so fresh, so new, and so burstingly alive, we catch her vision like a fever and bring it back out into the bright day with us, where everything has changed.

Pressestimmen

"This book is something new and wonderful--honest, funny, positive, completely original, and inspiring in the very best way: it made me remember I was alive."―GEORGE SAUNDERS

"A man on the 2 Express Train read some of Jenny Slate's Little Weirds over my shoulder. 'What kind of book is this?' he asked. 'The best kind,' I replied."―JOHN MULANEY

"This book is like a stovetop goulash, delicious and varied ingredients, prepared perfectly and excellent with bread...I'm sorry, I lost track of the simile."―AMY SEDARIS

"Luminous, emotional, lovely, and a little mysterious, this book is something you will savor like a half-remembered, gorgeous dream. You'll finish it feeling like Jenny Slate is your new best friend."―SUSAN ORLEAN, author of THE LIBRARY BOOK and THE ORCHID THIEF

"Indescribable, but eminently readable, the actor-comedian's book consists of a carnival of observations, ideas and events that may or may not make up a memoir. Basically, Little Weirds is performance art in high-caliber prose."―THE WASHINGTON POST

"Jenny's writing is wide open, tuneful, tender. She sees the world (and feels the world) like a bug might, two antennae poking out from her head like sensory wands. Reading Little Weirds made me feel tipsy."―DURGA CHEW-BOSE,author of TOO MUCH AND NOT THE MOOD

"Slate invites us for a glorious swim inside her imagination as she explores romance, heartbreak and self-love in this poetry-memoir-fiction mash-up. It's a work that breaks the mold."―PEOPLE

"At once warm, heartbreaking, and erotic...a strange, witty, sad journey into the depths of their author's imagination...devastating in their unfiltered honesty, even optimism...showcasing [Slate's] singular poetic forms of expression."―ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A singularly hilarious and horny, but also poignant and tender, collection of writing that beautifully captures Slate's inimitable voice, which is one that, once you've heard it, you want to listen to forever."―NYLON

"Reading Jenny Slate's Little Weirds is like digesting Shakespearean sonnets: It's different enough from ordinary English that it takes your brain a few, very-long sentences to adjust to its sweet, flowery prose. But once you've recalibrated, the actress/comedian's book becomes a dreamy dessert for the eyeballs that uses playful language to express deep sentiments about heartbreak, anger, wonder and friendship."―USA TODAY

"A poetic and dreamlike book, a testament to the power of fantasy and language to hit your feelings where facts and pictures can't. . .Slate's voice never loses its capacity for strangeness, for finding it in the littlest, weirdest corners. And it's this mix of sweet and sadness, real stakes and dreamy prose, that gives this book its soft, sharp, and altogether overwhelming power. Like René Magritte crossed with Lana Del Rey, with strong notes of Patricia Lockwood. Like a carnival ride caught in a tornado, candy-colored shards of metal sparkling in the sky."―TEEN VOGUE

"If you hadn't previously been aware of Slate's dexterity as a storyteller, [Little Weirds] will be your awakening...The thing about Jenny Slate is that her warmth doesn't just come from her openness. It also comes from her ability to say, with her whole chest, something others would keep hushed away. It's why she's the receptacle of the stories people are normally too embarrassed to tell. When someone articulates so clearly her own hopes and worries and small shames, it feels like an opening to share your own in return."―IN STYLE

"The inside of Jenny Slate's mind is a fascinating, if unusual, place. In this collage of essays, stories, dreams (both night and day), and pieces that defy easy categorization, the actor and comedian invites readers to pay an extended visit, one that will leave them enlightened, moved and sometimes pleasantly puzzled... a refreshing, original journey."―SHELF AWARENESS

"Jenny Slate, the polymathic actress, writer and comic, presents a delightfully odd assemblage of vignettes whose magical-realist absurdity is a style all her own."―LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Across pieces that vary in tone and style, a vulnerable account of losing love and wanting desperately to re-find it emerges. . . This unconventional collection gives true insight into Slate as both an artist and a person."―BOOKLIST (Starred Review)

"Every so often, someone will decide to stray from the outline and gift us with something so unexpected that it may not tickle our funny bone but it might tickle us pink. Jenny Slate's nonfiction collection Little Weirds is one such book. It's an extremely personal narrative, and there are elements of humor in it, but that may be all it has in common with the efforts of her peers. . . A collection that relies so heavily on whimsy shouldn't be this effective, but the emotions in it are so raw that delving into her words creates an intimate connection to the work."―AV CLUB

"A collection of not quite stories and not quite essays that are somehow more than both...Holding the book together is Slate's intelligence and eye for the absurd, which is to say her voice... pure joy for her subtlety, sensitivity, and comic timing...Few books explore self-doubt and loneliness with as much fun or creativity...Jenny Slate very much a writer."―LITERARY HUB

"Humorous, whimsical essays about things that are on Jenny Slate's mind. With a light touch, she tells us honestly what it's like to be her and how she sees the world, one little, weird piece of it at a time."―BOOKRIOT

"Jenny Slate is an artist in the broadest sense of the word. . . . Adjust your expectation of a run-of-the-mill memoir and ready yourself to drop straight into Slate's imagination. Her ability to paint a meticulous mental picture with nothing but words on a page can only be described as gifted."―ASSOCIATED PRESS

"Slate offers an intimate window into not only her mind, but her heart. The result is a dazzling, sensory gift for poetry lovers and fans of Slate's distinctly odd, but deeply charming humor."―PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Little Weirds explores the oddities-and magic-of everyday life...Less an essay collection and more a map of her brain...Little Weirds chattily chronicles Slate's highs and lows and dips and swoops as if the actress is absorbing sunshine through an I.V."
―MARIE CLAIRE

"The mind that made you fall in love with a tiny shell hang-gliding on a Dorito does similarly strange, albeit more grown-up work in this collection of essays, which touches on everything from haunted houses to a vagina singing sad old songs."―BUSTLE

"Slate's voice remains an eccentric and powerful central force as she comments on politics, patriarchy and her personal life."―TIME

"She can act! She can do stand-up! And yes: Jenny Slate can write, too. Slate gets vulnerable in Little Weirds, a memoir that touches on her first marriage, her post-election anxiety, and new beginnings."―REFINERY29

"A delight to read. It's a collection of beautiful, hilarious, genuine essays and really is meant for times when you feel heavy. Slate jumps between deeply considering a dead deer on her parents property, to transcribing her borderline surrealist dreams, to poignantly investigating heartache and the forms it takes in such a genuine way I couldn't help but feel that it was written by a friend for me."―VANITY FAIR

"Slate seems to fit so comfortably inside the poetic realms of her impressive imagination that she has no need to abandon them, not even when she is rebuking the pernicious ugliness of male patriarchy, another element that has heavily impacted her life. In one particularly powerful interlude, the author achieves biblical grandeur, envisioning herself ripping out the ancient evil root and stem...A uniquely talented writer and performer offers up an unexpectedly uncommon approach to autobiographical writing."―KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Little Weirds is full of soft and lovely moments... Slate beautifully evokes the pleasures of female friendship."―NPR.ORG

"Slate got what most major comedians get -- a book deal -- and the result is wholly original and uniquely hers...She writes in this lyrical, musical, even poetic way. The guardedness typical of the comedian memoir is thus gloriously stripped away... She manages to be whimsical but hilarious but vulnerable."―VULTURE, The 10 Best Comedy Books of 2019

"Both vulnerable and moving, a party even non-party-goers might like to attend."―LIBRARY JOURNAL

"The stand-up comedian and actress dips into every nook and cranny of her mind to bring forth original, funny, tender, and above all, magical observations about life."―POPSUGAR

"Jenny Slate is a little weird (in a very good way). Her aptly named collection of personal essays, Little Weirds, gives readers a glimpse into her strangely funny and tender, magically delicious mind...Slate's writing style is deeply personal, yet her prose is crisp to the taste."―AMAZON, Editor's Choice

"Little Weirds isn't the typical comedian's memoir, but it's the rare work of art that's somehow both delightfully bizarre and totally universal."―BUST MAGAZINE

That‘s what life (should) feel like
This book changed me. It‘s magical and beautiful and so so special and if you let yourself get into it it will bring you so much warmth and joy. I felt like Jenny Slate was my best friend who guides me through the special weird and hard and beautiful parts of life. It opened up my eyes and made me sob for the beauty that life can be. Humans are magical. I am so grateful to have stumblet over this book. It‘s poetry and so wonderfully weird. It feels like a big hug and makes you smile- if you let it.„My vulnerability is natural and permissible and beautiful to me, and it should remind you of your responsibility to behave like a friend to me and the world.“„Who is the sun who will return every day just to make sure I open up, and who will give me my own dark evening to close and just be within?“„I am suppoed to be touched. I can‘t wait to find the person who will come into the kitchen just to smell my neck and get behind me and hug me and breathe me in and make me turn around and make me kiss his face and put my hands in his hair even with my soapy dishwater drips. I am a lovely woman. Who will come into my kitchen and be hungry for me?“I highly recommend reading.

2,0 von 5 Sternen Too pretentious to be funny (for me of course)
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 23. März 2021
Verifizierter Kauf
I've really appreciate the intent behind this book, but, for me, it doesn't result what it meant to be: the prose it's articulate in a manner I've found not only useless, also annoying and distracting from the funny side and the message behind Jenny Slate's story.
My two stars are a little bit sever (maybe I could have gave it 3) but I really want to "warn" people and having the opportunity that they can choose the right book for them: I've seen this book a lot around and I've seen the high rating on Amazon, so I didn't check the less stars reviews and I've booked it blind.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Little Weirds surges with beauty
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 18. Juli 2023
Verifizierter Kauf
Little Weirds is a book with a heartbeat. It's a lullaby to the bits of you that don't get sung to. It's an amplifier for your own little weirds to go from house concert acoustic to stadium electric. Sometimes with the wah-wah pedal. It's also a soft, quiet breast pocket for your little weirds. Maybe in a guayabera because your little weirds may need 4 pockets with breathable fabric. Let your little weirds breathe. Were you sad at the end of Disney's Beauty and the Beast when Beast had to be a regular prince again? And he, I guess, got to return to the land of people who don't like women with ideas and books in their hands? Were you joyous when Francesca Lia Block ran that same fairy tale wild and wilder? Little Weirds is for you. My only regret is that I did not read this in the comfort of a frog-home drawn by Arnold Lobel with my dear friend, Toad, about to bring me fresh baked cookies.
