You can read the tale in her book, and you should." ―Next Tribe "With lively prose, Carroll analyzes women's experiences while driving her polka-dotted Prius through American towns with female names. When her own personal narrative grows dark, she bounces back with merry chapters devoted to quizzes and traveling expenses...This jarring structure is a metaphor for how the 'Silent Generation' made girls swallow the abuse they couldn't reveal..." ―Ann Votaw, The Journal Gazette "Fans of her longtime “Ask E. Jean” column in Elle will recognize her original voice ...Carroll’s descriptions of the “hideous men” in her life stand out." ―Elizabeth Taylor and Adam Cohen, The National Book Review "An entertaining and rage making romp of a read." –Clara Bingham, The Guardian "Whimsical...a book that approaches its high-concept road trip with tongue firmly in cheek." ―Constance Grady, Vox “Politically and socially urgent.” ―Cristina Arreola, Bustle “Quirky” ―Kim Hubbard, People “ELLE's own agony aunt, the incomparable E. Jean Carroll, went on a road trip to ask women a very simple question... Perfection.” ―Estelle Tang, ELLE “Explosive” ―Elena Nicolau, Refinery 29 “A fun-fueled feminist response to the current cultural and political climate, and I expected to laugh my way through its pages. I wasn’t wrong about the laughter.” ―Melanie Rock, Bustle "A memoir by way of an old-fashioned American road trip...No reader of Carroll’s column will be surprised to find that such violent moments are interspersed with huge helpings of levity." ―Keziah Weir, Vanity Fair “What [the book] offers, though, is a kind of literary impressionism, based on 75 years of lived experience―a sense of what it feels like to have pulsing veins and fiery nerves and a teeming mind and be caught within the cold infrastructures of sexism.” ―Megan Garber, The Atlantic “The writing… is just riveting. But it’s also journalistically very powerful, very precise, very careful” ―Lawrence O’Donnell "E. Jean is a terrific writer; she has mastered the difficult task of making her words sound like they're delivered in person, over a cocktail. " ―Monica Hesse, The Washington Post "Very funny” ―The Brian Lehrer Show "Fantastically written but so friendly to follow...Carroll’s book is readable in a way the Great Thinkers are not and can never be." ―B. David Zarley, Paste Magazine “Thoughtful, powerful” ―Adam Rathe, Town and Country “The most bitterly funny, fantastically furious book to explode out of the #metoo moment.” ―Dani Shapiro, bestselling author of Family History “Buy this book.” ―Ed Kosner, former Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek, New York, and Esquire “There isn’t another voice out there like E Jean’s.” ―Lorraine Candy, Editor-in-Chief, London Sunday Times “E. Jean is a know it all.” ―Jane Smiley "E. Jean Carroll is a force of nature, whose natural vibrancy has held readers in rapture for decades." ―Nina Garcia, Editor-in-Chief, ELLE Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) About the Author ---------------- E.
