Sprinkle glitter on my grave Observations and rants from the creator of odd mom out

The star of Bravo's breakout scripted comedy Odd Mom Out shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages. From her unique lingo (things don't simply frighten her, they "M. Night Shyamalan her out") to her gimlet-eyed view of narrow-mindedness, to her morbid but curiously life-affirming parenting style, mother of three Jill Kargman is nothing if not original. In this hilarious new book, the sharp-elbowed and talented mother of three turns her unconventional lens on life and death, and everything in between, including the politically correct peer pressure she felt from the new moms in her hood, the women who provided the grist for the mill that became her hit television show the evolution of her aesthetic from Miami Vice vibrant (a very brief flirtation) to Wednesday Addams–meets-rocker-chic her deep-seated New Yorker's...

Imagine if New York A-lister Nora Ephron had a love child with Americas most-loved comedic scribe, David Sedaris. Their spawn would be Jill Kargman, the bestselling novelist turned satirist and star of Bravos break-out scripted comedy, Odd Mom Out . Now Kargman shares her razor-sharp wit and backhanded wisdom in a deeply observed and outrageously funny collection of musings, lists, essays, and outrages. From the life-affirming outlook she got from her death-obsessed family (including the antithesis to her Goth aesthetic, ray of sunshine sister-in-law Drew Barrymore) to the appreciation for land (and limbs) she got from swimming with sharks off the South African coast, to the adrenaline-pumping experience that is a Gay Pride parade, Sprinkle Glitter on My Grave is a book about life, death, and everything that happens in between, that will both entertain and inspire.
