In the crowded field of funny memoirists, Lindy West may be the one true heir apparent to Nora Ephron. She is best known for her memoir Shrill, which was adapted into a Hulu series starring Aidy Bryant and executive produced by West. Her earlier works include Shit, Actually, a collection of film reviews that she also narrated as an audiobook that I cannot recommend highly enough. All of which is to say that her author appearance at Parnassus is bound to be alternately hilarious and smart as hell. She’s touring to promote the March 10 release of Adult Braces: Driving Myself Insane. The memoir is being heralded as her most ambitious yet, and follows the newly famous West through a post-Shrill rock bottom. It can only help that she’ll be joined by Kim Baldwin, the Scene’sonetime digital editor, who is an all-time funny book-event co-host. We’ll see you there — but get your tickets ASAP, since this is bound to sell out.
