What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face a befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury. And then what happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing and then she exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a global plague and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal - but was this normal and had she or anything ever been normal? Herein lies an account of this journey, told in five phases - Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing - through luminous, laugh-out-loud funny, classifiable essays that take the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a stork, gossip between racoons, theories about post-partum hair loss and more. No one writes like Jenny Slate.
