Description

Wry, greatly real, and entertaining, this debut assortment of literary documents is just a party of haplessness and fallibility in most their beauty. Crosley may do no right regardless of the best of motives-or maybe due to them, from despoiling an exhibit at the Natural History Museum to invoking the ire of her first chef to siccing the police on her strange friend. Together, these documents produce an amazingly revealing and interesting picture of the complex and totally identifiable personality thatis targeting the stars-but strikes the roof, and the city that's helped shape who she's. I Was Told There'd Be Dessert presents a strikingly unique speech, chronicling the challenges and sudden elegance of contemporary metropolitan existence.
