Please Don't Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes
THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER, NOW IN PAPERBACK
Another hilarious essay collection from Phoebe Robinson.The New York Times Book Review
Strikes the perfect balance of brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny. I didnt want it to end.Mindy Kaling, New York Times bestselling author of Why Not Me?
With sharp, timely insight, pitch-perfect pop culture references, and her always unforgettable voice, New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actress, and producer Phoebe Robinson is back with her most must-read book yet.
In her brand-new collection, Phoebe shares stories that will make you laugh, but also plenty that will hit you in the heart and inspire a little bit of rage, and maybe a lot of action. That means revealing her perspective on performative allyship, white guilt, and what happens when white people take up space in cultural movements; exploring what its like to be a woman who doesnt want kids living in a society where motherhood is the crowning achievement of a straight, cis womans life; and discussing how the dire state of mental health in America means that taking care of ones psychological well-beingaka self-careusually requires disposable money.
She also shares tales of her mom slowpoking before a visit with Mrs. Obama, the stupidly fake reassurances of zip-line attendants, her favorite things about dating a white person from the UK, and how the lack of Black women in leadership positions fueled her to become the Black lady-boss of her dreams. By turns perceptive, hilarious, and heartfelt, Please Dont Sit on My Bed in Your Outside Clothes is not only a brilliant look at our current cultural moment, it's also a collection that will stay with readers for years to come.
