MY LIFE AS A VILLAINESS

Laura Lippman

In MY LIFE AS A VILLAINESS, the beloved New York Times bestselling novelist takes on the personal essay with a collection that offers readers a candid view of an unapologetically flawed life. Childhood, motherhood, friendship, her career as a newspaper reporter, her delight in her second act as a novelist -- Lippman's life stories are at once specific and universal, with as many twists as her award-winning crime fiction.

Comments

"Lippman's clear-eyed assessment of aging puts 'My Life as a Villainess' on the same shelf as Nora Ephron's 'I Feel Bad About My Neck'..."

"Beloved crime fiction writer and avid tweetmeister Lippman makes an unconvincing case for her villainy in this collection. The essays, some new, some previously published, are overall a delight."

"Lippman's revelations about herself and her life are refreshingly candid and imbued with a seriously robust overtone of humor, a double-barreled approach that dovetails nicely with Lippman's self-description of being 'gleefully honest.'"

"A wryly observed collection from a reliably good writer."
