In Praise of DIRT
“As a former compulsive handwasher, I enjoyed the plethora of intelligent and amusing insights which this gorgeous compilation afforded me.”
—Lady Macbeth aka Simon Doonan, author of Eccentric Glamour
“Drop the broom. Stash the dust rag. Leave the mess on your desk. Read DIRT instead of cleaning the house—you’ll enjoy the company of wonderful writers who share your own habits, passions, and quirks.”—Ellen Sussman, author of Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex and Bad Girls: 26 Writers Misbehave
“In this interesting collection of personal essays, writers both male and female share their relationship with space, around and inside of them. Written in a variety of tones—humorous, poignant, edgy, revelatory—the authors keep us entertained and engaged from the first essay on.”
—Nahid Rachlin, author of Persian Girls and Jumping Over Fire
“Who would guess that revelations about cleaning house would be so intimate and revealing? More constant than love, sex, or money, DIRT makes for a compelling and compulsively readable topic.”
—Kathy Matthews, author of sixteen books including The Trouble with Perfect and SuperFoods RX
