In Lisbon, Crosley meets a group of clown college students and gets invited to an underground circus performance. Other essays describe travels to Lisbon and Paris. Some of the essays are about living in New York, dealing with taxis, and the desire to move away from an anorexic kleptomaniac roommate and into a possibly haunted former whorehouse. How Did You Get This Number is another book of eclectic stories. ![]() I loved experiencing these things through her writing, and when I found out that she wrote a new book of essays, I was very excited. She told stories about being a bridesmaid for a woman she hadn’t seen since junior high, asking boyfriends for ponies and ending up with a stablefull of breakup memorabilia, and the downside of volunteering at a butterfly exhibit. Her first book, I Was Told There’d Be Cake is very funny. If you haven’t read Sloane Crosley before, then you should. ![]()
