The Harm in Asking: My Clumsy Encounters with the Human Race

by Sara Barron

Welcome to the perverse and hilarious mind of Sara Barron. In The Harm in Asking , she boldly addresses the bizarre indignities of everyday life- from invisible pets to mobster roommates, from a hatred of mayonnaise to an unrequited love of k.d. lang, from the ruinous side effect of broccoli to the sheer delight of a male catalogue model. In a voice that is incisive and entirely her own, Barron proves herself the master of the awkward, and she achieves something wonderful and rare- a book that makes you laugh out loud. Simply put- if you read it, you will never be the same.* *That's not true. You'll probably stay the same. But you'll have laughed a lot. And you'll have learned a fun fact about Jessica Simpson's home spray. See? You didn't even know she had a home spray! The learning has already begun.
