Review
“As fitting a response to 2020 as I can imagine... Wildly, seditiously funny.... Read Irby because she knows what it means to live with a fair amount of panic and largely indoors.... She might be our great bard of quarantine—with an unimpeachable daytime pajama look.... This is her voice: deadpan, confiding, companionable.... [Her] three collections, which span a decade, ought to be read together, with this latest as a coda, striking its valedictory note.”
—Parul Sehgal, The New York Times
“Samantha Irby’s Wow, No Thank You is a gift that everyone should give themselves and each other. She writes with such wisdom about our culture and such honesty about herself. And nobody—but nobody—is funnier. Every time I read Irby, I feel freer.”
—Glennon Doyle, Hello Sunshine
“America’s most talented comic writer.”
—The New Republic
“Hilarious, fascinating.”
—Gretchen Rubin
“Funny and sharp—it’s a frighteningly precise look at the cultural landscape. I can only read one essay at a time—not just because I’m distracted, but so as to savour Irby’s wit and wisdom.”
—Candice Carty-Williams, The Guardian
“There is no greater truth teller out there these days than Samantha Irby.”
—The Advocate, Women of the Year
"Irby is still just one of the funniest writers out there; this is her new essay collection. There's a line where she's at the club and someone confuses her for Roxane Gay, and I was just laughing so hard that I was having trouble breathing."
—Kevin Nguyen, Buzzfeed, 15 Great New Books
“Samantha Irby has an ideal comic voice for this particular moment in time: a little casual, fairly raunchy and always hilarious. Her musings on everything from marriage to bodily functions are eminently digestible even when the food she chooses to eat is not.”
—Wall Street Journal
“Wow, No Thank You, is a spicy cocktail that will intoxicate readers—a few fingers of Dorothy Parker and a splash of comedian Wanda Sykes, as bracing and delicious as a cosmopolitan.... If zingers were money, [Irby]’d be a zillionaire.... A pop-culture pleasure of the moment, suitable for tucking in a time capsule as the world hurtles into an uncertain future.”
—The Nashville Scene
“The wit is accompanied by wisdom throughout; and, in a plague year, there’s added resonance to Samantha’s themes of making peace with the body and how not to feel alone.”
—LA Review of Books
“I have been laughing so hard, I pee. This is the funniest book ever written.”
—Maggie, The Book Slut
“Honestly it feels like Samantha Irby’s latest collection of essays arrived just in time so that we can distract and soothe ourselves with side-splitting laughter.”
—Autostraddle, Queer Comfort Reads for Tough Times
“As if we needed more incentive to read something new from Samantha Irby.”
—Writer’s Bone
“Not every book can make you laugh out loud, but [Irby’s] book does it easily, and with a self-deprecating flow.”
—New City Lit
“Her unapologetic embrace of all caps and jokes that are so hilarious and also so true...will make you wish you were friends.”
—Bustle
“If there’s one book/movie/TV show/anything I’d recommend to anyone right now, it’s that, a body-shaking funny gem that I’ve already devoured more than once.”
—Michael Pina, SB Nation
“Wow, No Thank You proves that [Irby] is America’s greatest living humorist.”
—Damon Young, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“One of our funniest essayists.... [Irby’s] writing is a master class in self-deprecation and occasional imposter syndrome.... The beauty of the personal essay is the escape it offers into someone else’s soul, and Irby happily makes room for any and all who wish to come on in.”
—Paste Magazine
“The incomparable Samantha Irby offers yet another laugh-out-loud masterpiece.... The perfect read at a time when we all could use a little comic relief.”
—AP
“An irreverent, hilarious, and vulnerable dive into the author’s brain.... For all of Irby’s wit, depression over debts, and social awkwardness, there is a deep resounding warmth in her essays, too. A hard-won empathy, a stubborn acceptance of self that invites us to join her and revel in the chaos.”
—Interview
“It’s deeply improbable that an essay about making new friends is so delightful right now, but that’s just a testament to how wildly brilliant Sam is.”
—Jenna Wortham
