b'Sloane Crosley is the author of I Was Told There\\u2019d Be Cake and How Did You Get This Number. Her latest essay collection is Look Alive Out There.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\u201cThe more extreme things get in reality, the more extreme escapism has to be. It\\u2019s like Game of Thrones or bust. But in reality, I think that part of what I\\u2019m trying to do with this book, or in anything I write, is to give permission to be mad about little things. Just because there\\u2019s all of this, someone still slid their hand down a subway pole and touched you. Or somebody bumped into you. There are still these minor indignities and infractions that occur consistently. And I think there\\u2019s some sort of robbing if you tell yourself, Well, I\\u2019m not going to be mad about this because of the political landscape that we\\u2019re in.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, Squarespace, The Great Courses Plus, and @askanyone\\n\\n\\nCrosley on Longform\\n\\n\\n[11:20] \\u201dGoodbye, Columbus\\u201d (Village Voice \\u2022 2004)\\n\\n\\n[14:15] Read Bottom Up: A Novel (Riverhead Books \\u2022 2016)\\n\\n\\n[22:00] I Was Told There\\u2019d Be Cake: Essays (Dey Street Books \\u2022 2008)\\n\\n\\n[25:50] Look Alive Out There: Essays (MCD \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[26:00] "A Dog Named Humphrey" (Believer Magazine \\u2022 June 2012)\\n\\n\\n[26:00] Outside Voices (New Yorker \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[26:00] Up the Down Volcano (Kindle Single \\u2022 2011)\\n\\n\\n[26:00] "Light Pollution" (Vice \\u2022 May 2010)\\n\\n\\n[36:15] "My Uncle, The 70s Porn Star" (Esquire \\u2022 Apr 2018)\\n\\n\\n[37:47] "The Doctor Is a Woman" (The Cut \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\n[43:25] "Spin the Globe: Sloane Crosley in Ecuador" (Afar \\u2022 Nov 2011)\\n\\n\\n[46:00] "All Aboard the Good Ship Self-Care" (Vogue \\u2022 Mar 2019)\\n\\n\\n[53:45] "Living in Print: David Sedaris and Sloane Crosley in Conversation\\u201d\\n\\n\\n[1:02:30] "Laura Dern\\u2019s Big Little Truths" (Vanity Fair \\u2022 Feb 2019)\\n\\n\\n[1:02:30] "The Art of the Real Starring Stormy Daniels" (Playboy \\u2022 Dec 2018)\\n\\n\\n[1:02:30] "The Dr. Ruth You Don\'t Know" (InStyle \\u2022 May 2019)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
