Maeve in America: Essays by a Girl from Somewhere Else

â€œIf Tina Fey and David Sedaris had a daughter, she would be Maeve Higgins.â€Â â€”Glamour

A startlingly hilarious essay collection about one womanâ€™s messy path to finding her footing in New York City, from breakout comedy star and podcaster Maeve Higgins

Maeve Higgins was a bestselling author and comedian in her native Ireland when, at the grand old age of thirty-one, she left the only home sheâ€™d ever known in search of something more andÂ found herself in New York City.Â Together, the essays inÂ Maeve in AmericaÂ create a smart, funny, and revealing portrait of a woman who aims for the stars but sometimes hits the ceiling and the inimitable city that helped make her who she is.

Here are stories of not being able to afford a dress for the ball, of learning to live with yourself while youâ€™re still figuring out how to love yourself, of the true significance of realizing what sort of shelter dog you would be. Self-aware and laugh-out-loud funny, this collection is also a fearless exploration of the awkward questions in life, such as: Is clapping too loudly at a gig a good enough reason to break up with somebody? Is it ever really possible to leave home?

â€œMaeve Higgins is hilarious, poignant, conversational, and my favorite Irish import since U2. Youâ€™re in for a treat.â€ â€”Phoebe Robinson
