Reviews

I Told You So is true, terrifying, and coffee-out-yournose funny. I love Kate Clinton. Buy the book, or I'll sic the NSA on your ass.Rachel Maddow

"Kate Clinton makes our world bigger by sharing hers. With her laser-beam wit, she offers up a series of bittersweet, twisted, tart and tangy, honest, and from-the-heart essays. I enjoyed every minute of viewing the world through her eyes. All that and she is funny."Lewis Black, The Daily Show

"A hilarious, jam-packed, and fun-filled collection of thoughts from the mind of an American original."Lily Tomlin

"Clinton proves in these essayswhich cover topics from the inherent lesbianism of Sex and the City to three-dimensional thesaurithat she still ranks among the sharpest, funniest working comedians."Ms.

"[Clinton] throws just as many ingredients into the potshe riffs on Hillary Clinton and waterboarding, baptism and Provincetownbut comedic license and her own wicked sense of humor allow Clinton a kind of thematic ADD that fiction would not afford."Kathi Wolfe, Washington Blade
