概要
In My Remaining Years offers an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment. Listen out for the sounds of Jean's inner monologue, Dr. Umentary, and New York City with original music composed for this listening experience. Sit back and savor!
This collection of darkly humorous, intensely personal essays is written and read by by cult fave and multi-hyphenate artist Jean Grae.
In My Remaining Years, by creative juggernaut Jean Grae, debunks the myth that coming-of-age narratives should be reserved for the kids, providing a much-needed rallying cry for those of us still trying to figure it out in our forties. These laugh-out-loud essays cover everything from aging gracefully (with and without botox), what happens when you look for community and almost start a cult, befriending childhood demons (Hi Mumm-ra!), gender fluidity in middle age, the cost of being too fabulous, and the various gymnastics we do to avoid becoming our parents, taking us from her childhood in 1980s New York City to present-day Baltimore. In this audiobook, Jean captures magic in a bottle, distilling the feeling of hanging out with your smartest, funniest, and most brutally honest best friend.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.
批評家のレビュー
"A fierce, funny book that embraces life and all its imperfections with open arms." —Kirkus
“I have often considered how much better society would be if a small version of Jean Grae could live on every bookshelf. All of my experiments in this field have ended in international sanctions and house fires. But as usual, Jean had a better idea and wrote this book. The portable Jean now exists, and you must buy it!”
—John Hodgman, New York Times bestselling author of Vacationland
“As a proud day-one fan, I have always considered Jean to be one of my favorite creatives in hip-hop, turning out lyrics that sharpen your sense of the perfect imperfections of life. I couldn’t be happier to see her pivot into authorship. Personal history, the mystery of the self, the crazed whirl of the crazy modern world—all of it gets the Jean Grae treatment in these sledgehammer essays, which hold your hand while they invade your head.”
—Questlove
“This haphazard world is so very lucky Jean Grae wrote a book. A hall of myriad doorways into a mind and life like no other—so deep, so funny, so genius. If you’ve ever felt stuck articulating the unrelenting chaos of existing, Jean has got you covered and then some.”
—Aparna Nancherla, actress, comedian, and author of Unreliable Narrator
“I’m in awe of the many talents of Jean Grae. What a pleasure it is to discover that, as I’d expected, Jean is excellent at writing books, too.”
—Maris Kreizman, author of I Want To Burn This Place Down
“Jean Grae is relentless—in her pursuit of life, of honesty, of the beauty and brutality of being human, and all the strange and seductive things between. She will make you cry and marvel in the same breath, leave you gasping with laughter, and make you vow to never waste another moment of your own remaining years on some petty-ass bullshit.”
—Aisha Tyler, actress, director, and New York Times bestselling author of Self-Inflicted Wounds
