Consider these lines from Irby’s opening essay, “Into the Gross.” I think they better express both the book’s overarching emotional state and why it has quite literally kept me from emotional collapse during this year that seems like it is actively trying to destroy us all so we as a species will stop decimating everything in our path.
As someone who bought this book purely on the arched eyebrow I heard reading the title, I can’t overstate my fury at her publishers for not keeping either of those decisions. The book has a picture of a very fluffy, floppy-eared rabbit on the cover while her original vision was a hissing possum.
In an interview with Lindy West, Samantha Irby stated that the working title for Wow, No Thank You was Dying Is Fine.
