Samantha Irby wants potential readers to know that 'despite how maybe gross and offensive my work may seem on the surface, that it really is accessible for lots of different...people.' She spoke to NPR about her new essay collection, 'Wow, No Thank You.'
When I sat down to write an outline for what I wanted to do this time, I think every essay I thought of was a different way to complain about having moved, and not having any friends in the new place, and not knowing how to live in a house after having lived in apartments for most of my life. So I didn't set out to be a fish out of water, but I looked around and was like, wow, this this is it. I'm going to write about it now.
On describing herself as a high-functioning, depressed and anxious person, despite being charming on-air You know, I can talk to you and be charming and have fun. And this is great. And then, like, I have to lie down and I will be anxious about every dumb thing I've said truly until it airs. So it's negative self-talk and inertia that is easy to hide from other people.I mean, eventually there's going to be zero demand for my stuff. And the day that happens, that's it. I'm going to go bag groceries, or work at the gas station, or wherever will hire me.
We gotta be realistic. Listen — ten years, I'll be 50. And are people really going to want to listen to a 50-year-old lady complaining about her swollen ankles? I don't know. If they are, I'll keep it up. You know, if they're like, oh, no, your time is done, then I will realistically accept that.
