Whether she is contemplating promiscuity or The New Testament, lamenting about what she should have said to Oprah, or learning to tango, Grealy seduces and surprises the reader at every turn. With the sheer brilliance of her imagination, Grealy leads us on delightful journeys with her wit, unflinching honesty and peerless intelligence. A completely original thinker and a remarkable writer, the author leaves the reader with plenty to ponder. As Seen On TV breaks the mould of the essay, and is destined, like the memoir that preceded it, to become a modern classic.

'[Grealy is]. . . unforgettable.' -New York Times

'[Grealy writes]-with exquisite prose and steely strength.' -USA Today

'Lucy Grealy manages to convince an amazing array of people that she is speaking directly to them.' -Baltimore Sun

'[Grealy] overcomes-with wit, intelligence and an unconquerable spirit.' Mademoiselle
