My Life as a Villainess

Now, finally, Lippman has turned her gimlet eye on a new subject: herself.

My daughter was ten days old the first time I was asked if I were her grandmother.

In this, her first collection of essays, Lippman gives us a brilliant, candid portrait of an unapologetically flawed life.

Değerlendirmeler

'Candid and quirky, this book will have special appeal to fans of her crime fiction. A wryly observed collection from a reliably good writer.' - Kirkus

'She revels in confession and connection, surprise and provocation, and she performs all with panache, wisdom, wit, and courage. Lippman asserts: "I'm a tough old bird," and readers will declare: and one helluva true-tale teller.' - Booklist
