Playful, irreverent, and at turns poignant, these humorous essays burst with energy. Brian Conroy's hilarious portraits of Pamela Anderson, a pot-eating puppy, and his stint working in the lingerie department at Macy's are a wild ride. Flash back with him to his 8th grade dance where he busts moves with a mini-skirted teenybopper while dressed in a powder blue Nehru jacket. Ride shotgun with him in a self-driving car as he hurtles toward his death at age seven. Hang out with him in his high school shop class where he is surrounded by neanderthals, forced to conceal his true identity as a closeted singer. Throughout, Conroy shares his refreshing perspective through self-deprecating humor without veering into cynicism or mean-spiritedness. From anecdotes of his 1960's childhood to contemporary political musings, You Don't Hear Me Complaining is heartfelt, whimsical, and a total crack up.
