From Booklist , 05/01/96:
Barreca, author of the groundbreaking book, They Used to Call Me Snow White: Women's Strategic Use of Humor (1991), gets it just right when she introduces this gratifyingly substantial and thoroughly invigorating anthology by stating that women's humor has always been a "tool for survival" and a "weapon against the absurdities of injustice." There is, indeed, something radical about funny women. Men have long devalued the intellect, perspective, and wit of women, an attempt at oppression that has only inspired higher levels of satire and wisecracking. Barreca has searched far and wide for prime examples of triumphant women's humor, tapping into the routines of such comics as Whoopi Goldberg and Paula Poundstone as well as the work of "serious" writers, including Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bowen, Fay Weldon, and Virginia Woolf. This volume, which also includes such expected luminaries as Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz, and Molly Ivins, is full of delectable and memorable surprises as Barreca quotes women joking about everything from anatomy to housekeeping, shoes, and marriage. To quote Mae West, "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful."

"Uniquely conceived and utterly refreshing, Peter Kramer breaks the mold of most advice books with Should You Leave? Expect no authoritative voice retreating behind labels or manufactured jargon. Instead, in a series of fictive sessions with imaginary advisees, Kramer illlustrates complex problems; each one lets him give a different style of advice--from Freud's to Ann Lander's. The central question pushes the limits of traditional "silent therapy": can a direct, simple response to any problem of the heart be valuable?" Amazon.com

"Not only is this a stunning and moving look at the many- layered complexities of intimacy, it is also a neat literary trick... Beautifully illustrating the passion, curiosity, intellect, and sensitivity therapists bring to their work, Kramer has produced a tour de force, a book of non-advice more illuminating than any how-to could ever be." Kirkus Reviews

"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner in her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions of readers. While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this vivid, engaging and eminently wise work, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating meaningful and lasting change. This book has inspired more "You changed my life" stories from both women and men than perhaps any other bestseller on the American scene today. The Dance of Anger has sold more than 2 million copies and been translated into more than 30 foreign editions."

100 Reasons to Keep Him, 100 Reasons to Dump Him

"This is an amazing book. Buy this book if you have ever had your heart brokern by a lover, husband, wife, friend or relative. It will help you find peace."

"...It should do for dumped girlfriends what The First Wives Club did for dumped wives: hearten, console, viciously amuse." Time

"A prank is a "trick, a mischievous act, a ludicrous act." Although not regarded as poetic or artistic acts, pranks constitute an art form and genre in themselves. Here pranksters such as Timothy Leary, Abbie Hoffman, Monte Cazazza, Jello Biafra, Earth First!, Joe Coleman, Karen Finley, John Waters and Henry Rollins (and more) challenge the sovereign authority of words, images & behavioral convention. This iconoclastic compendium will dazzle and delight all lovers of humor, satire and irony."
