Beschreibung
From the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, an utterly original memoir-in-essays that is as deeply moving as it is hilariously funny

Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the '90s, Erika Sanchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment-a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later, she's now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she's still got an irrepressible laugh, acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.

In these essays, Sanchez writes about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression, revealing an interior life rich with ideas, self-awareness, and perception. Raunchy, insightful, unapologetic, and brutally honest, Crying in the Bathroom is Sanchez at her best-a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend.

Zusammenfassung
SUPERSTAR, BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Erika's debut YA novel, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, has netted more than 360k copies, was a National Book Award finalist, and is being made into a film directed by America Ferrera. Erika is a rising star, both critical and commercial, who's already got booksellers, librarians, and 17k Twitter followers in her corner, and this is her first adult prose book.

INIMITABLE VOICE: Erika writes about her interior life in such an honest and appealing way that you feel lucky to be in her company from the first page. This is the kind of book that makes you want to admit something embarrassing about yourself to a total stranger, that kind of "while we're all being honest…" feeling. And with its range of subjects, it's also the kind of book that a wide readership can relate to.

EARLY BUZZ: There were 13 editors interested in this, and we won it in a competitive auction.
