I Was Told There'd Be Cake

I WAS TOLD THERE'D BE CAKE: Sloane Crosley: Riverhead Trade: 2008: Biography: 240 pages

Sloane Crosley has written a humorous collection of essays about her childhood growing up Jewish in Connecticut, and her adult life as a struggling writer in Manhattan. Reminiscent of David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell, it's a very enjoyable romp through her personal foibles with many laugh out loud moments as she lays bare her life for the entertainment of the world. Like Jerry Seinfeld, she brings humor to the mundane aspects of everyday life. If you enjoy this book make sure to pick up David Sedaris' latest - When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
