Summary:
Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking
journey through her unique, uncensored world -- her bungled romantic
encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed
father and her mother, who, if you should want to know, is fine; her
pill-popping therapist, eccentric grandmothers, and fearless husband,
whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most
popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful,
power-hungry, one-year-old son. Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one
in our heads -- the one that most of us are only willing to listen to
late at night . .. maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it
is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly
everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the
verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a
gentile.
