| Publisher Description: Nora Ephron and Allie Brosh fans take note: Alisa Jones' memoir Gotham Girl Interrupted is a smart stand-up comedy about the power of falling down. Get to your safe spaces, people. Here comes the shimmer... From irreverent NYC blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones comes an account of her misadventures in motherhood, love, and epilepsy that James Patterson calls smart, harrowing, heart-warming, and very funny. What do Da Vinci, Agatha Christie, and blogger Alisa Kennedy Jones have in common? If you said timeless artistic genius, stop sucking up--the answer is ecstatic epilepsy. In this hilarious and moving dispatch from the frontlines of neurodiversity, Jones chronicles life with these terrifying-yet-beautiful grand mal seizures. Characteristic of Jones's condition are attacks which leave her with what Zen Buddhists sometimes refer to as a beginner's mind: a vast, open expanse of headspace, coupled with a creative euphoria. With bracing candor and humility, Jones describes living with chronic illness, single motherhood, and her day-to-day life as a hapless writer in NYC. Above all, Jones reminds us to fight the battle for becoming who we are supposed to be--no matter how much flopping around on the ground and wetting ourselves we have to do to get there. |
