Lipshtick , a series of humorous, autobiographical essays, is a foray into personal preoccupations that no one likes to admit to-at least not publicly-which is precisely what has made macsai's award-winning essays heard on NPR over the least seven years so popular. Whether explaining why women really go to the bathroom in twos, describing breasts after pregnancy as "lifeless blobs of fat that look like they took a running dive off my chest and never quite made it to the floor" or delving into the one thing a girl likes least - - chin hair -- Macsai brings readers the funniest and most unusual thoughts from the cobwebbed corners of her backyard and her own brain.
