PLEASE DON'T SIT ON MY BED IN YOUR OUTSIDE CLOTHES
Essays
New York Times bestselling author and star of 2 Dope Queens, Phoebe Robinson, returns to the literary scene with a new collection of essays about life in quarantine, amid the COVID-19 pandemic that touches on everything from the personal (her evolving relationship with her boyfriend known to her fans as "British Baekoff"), to the global (the damaging narratives of Black exceptionalism and the quiet strength of introverts) and dismantles the stereotypes we hold about ourselves and others.
PLEASE DON'T SIT ON MY BED IN YOUR OUTSIDE CLOTHES, the newest essay collection from bestselling author Phoebe Robison, was written in a special moment--in the time of quarantine as a pandemic swept across the nation, forcing people into their homes, studios, and tiny apartments in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. As Americans took to their homes, faced with a new sense of normal, they began taking up hobbies like baking bread, building puzzles, and knitting to fill the days, and Phoebe was no different. Except instead of baking bread, Phoebe was writing. Inspired by current events, never-ending news cycles, and the cultural moment we were all experiencing together, Phoebe has written her best collection yet, which is at once relatable, charming, smart, and utterly entertaining.
In essays that are by turns hilarious and heartfelt, written with Phoebe's unforgettable voice and unparalleled wit, she crafts an acceptance speech for 2020, a year that will go down in the books as one of the worst years ever, and shares her thoughts on her relationship and their blissfully childless union; she ruminates on Black excellence, highlighting the fact that Black people don't need white saviorism but true allyship; she illuminates her readers on the comedy industry, an industry that deals in laughs but is notorious for protecting predators; and wonders, just how much news is too much news. Covering a range of topics sure to engage with a wide readership, PLEASE DON'T SIT ON MY BED IN YOUR OUTSIDE CLOTHES is a brilliant collection not only for the time, but for years to come.
