Download Microthrills: True Stories from a Life of Small Highs AudioBook Free
Raised in Manhattan by her tiny sex-therapist mother and her two eccentric grandparents, Wendy Spero has always sought excitement in "microthrills," the tiny, strange highs that provide her life meaning.
Her story commences in the one-bedroom, Upper East Side apartment she shared with her overly protective mother, where, as just a little girl, she passed enough time gnawing on strawberry-scented erasers, splitting up arguments between her imaginary friends, and being put through cut-throat nursery school applications.
Eventually, Wendy broke out on her own - but stayed admonished by her mother for devoid of enough quality orgasms. After having a stint of door-to-door knife-selling, she started her first (and last) office job, where she formed a unique relationship with her big-time executive boss - one which involved all the pot smoking and gold glitter as it did mentoring. Now, a comedian residing in L.A., Wendy grapples with such grown-up issues as aiming to kick her addiction to eating candy during intercourse, parenting dozens of high-maintenance stuffed animals, and lastly learning how to operate a vehicle.
Sure to be loved by fans of David Sedaris and Laurie Notaro, this hilarious, offbeat, and, at times, touching book marks the debut of a fresh, new nonfiction voice, and one which won't soon be forgotten.
