Look Alive Out There by Sloane Crosley

Essayist and humorist Sloane Crosley has a way with an opening sentence. “The most important thing you need to know about my uncle, the porn star, is that he’s not my actual uncle,” she writes at the start of one piece in her third collection, Look Alive Out There. Do tell! Crosley brings a similar provocative wit to essays about obnoxious neighbors, her cameo on Gossip Girl, and hanging out with pot-farmer swingers. Hear more about her adventures at this sure-to-be-entertaining reading.
