A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'After sleeping around for the better part of my twenties, it somehow occurred to me that I wasn't giving everyone a fair shot...I knew that if I ever had a chance at becoming a respectable ambassador for countries like Uganda, Khazikistan, or the Tropic of Cancer, I would really have to be more of an egalitarian. It was time for a redhead.'

Life isn't easy for Chelsea - but then she doesn't exactly make it easy. In Are you There Vodka, It's Me Chelsea, she recalls her embarrassments, trials and tribulations with hilarious frankness. Like the time she told some girls at school that she was shooting movies with Goldie Hawn on location in the Galapagos, or when she decided to broaden her sexual horizons with 'Big Red', despite the fact that she was seeing a perfectly good dark-haired man at the time.

With tips on dining in pitch black restaurants, reservations about overly aggressive masseuses, and an (ex-) boyfriend who comes to help her dog sit two Peekapoos, but ends up getting along rather too well with 'Daisy' - Chelsea has done it all, including meeting a real mini-Chelsea. Written with biting wit, and a smart, sassy and anything-but-shy attitude, this memoir-in-stories will have you rolling around with laughter.

Praise for Chelsea Handler

'Where have I been all of Chelsea Handler's life? I had no idea how funny, how brilliant she is... she is too clever for words.' New York Post

'Will leave you doubled up in no time... By golly, do we love her tales!' OK Magazine

'Chelsea Handler writes like Judy Blume, if Judy Blume were into vodka, Ecstasy, and sleeping with midgets and nineteen-year-olds.' Jennifer Weiner

Présentation de l'éditeur

Welcome to Chelsea Handler's world—a place where absurdity reigns supreme and a quick wit is the best line of defense.

When Chelsea Handler needs to get a few things off her chest, she appeals to a higher power—vodka. Seems reasonable, when considering that she discovered her boyfriend was having an affair with a Peekapoo and she had to pretend to be honeymooning with her father in order to upgrade to first class.

In this highly entertaining, deliciously skewed collection, Chelsea mines her past for stories about her family, relationships, and career that are at once singular and ridiculous. Whether she’s convincing her third-grade class that she has been chosen to play Goldie Hawn’s daughter in the sequel to Private Benjamin, deciding to be more egalitarian by dating a redhead, or looking out for a foulmouthed, rum-swilling little person who looks just like her...only smaller, Chelsea has a knack for getting herself into the most outrageous situations. Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea showcases the candor and irresistible turns of phrase that have made her one of the freshest voices in comedy today.
