The characteristic heart and punch-packing observations are back, but with a newfound coat of maturity. A thin coat. More of a blazer, really. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFans of \u003ci\u003eI Was Told There'd Be Cake\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e How Did You Get This Number\u003c\/i\u003e know Sloane Crosley's life as a series of relatable but madcap misadventures. In \u003ci\u003eLook Alive Out There, \u003c\/i\u003e whether it's scaling active volcanoes, crashing shivas, playing herself on \u003ci\u003eGossip Girl, \u003c\/i\u003ebefriending swingers, or staring down the barrel of the fertility gun, Crosley continues to rise to the occasion with unmatchable nerve and electric one-liners. And as her subjects become more serious, her essays deliver not just laughs but lasting emotional heft and insight. Crosley has taken up the gauntlets thrown by her predecessors--Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, David Sedaris--and crafted something rare, affecting, and true. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLook Alive Out There\u003c\/i\u003e arrives on the tenth anniversary of \u003ci\u003eI Was Told There'd be Cake\u003c\/i\u003e, and Crosley's essays have managed to grow simultaneously more sophisticated and even funnier. And yet she's still very much herself, and it's great to have her back--and not a moment too soon (or late, for that matter).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSloane Crosley \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Clasp\u003c\/i\u003e, and two \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling books of personal essays, \u003ci\u003e I Was Told There'd Be Cake\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for The Thurber Prize for American Humor, \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHow Did You Get This Number\u003c\/i\u003e.
