About the Books
Samantha Irby has built a devoted readership by refusing to soften the messiest parts of her life, and this set of three essay collections shows her voice at its funniest and most fearless. We Are Never Meeting in Real Life is her New York Times bestselling breakout, capturing powerful emotional truths through a disastrous pilgrimage to Nashville, awkward sexual encounters, and the world's first completely honest job application. Wow, No Thank You continues Irby's candid style as she stares down turning forty, adjusting to rural living far from her beloved Chicago, and navigating aging, body image, and self-acceptance with irreverence and warmth. Meaty, the collection that first put Irby on the map, dives into her relationship with her body, food, love, friendship, and the chaos of trying to adult while managing chronic illness, filtered through essays as tender as they are funny. Together, these collections trace the arc of a singular comedic voice, unafraid to mine heartbreak, illness, and awkwardness for both laughs and hard-won wisdom. Readers who love confessional essays that blend honesty with big laughs will find this set impossible to put down, each one landing somewhere between a gut laugh and a gut punch.
