Description

A treat for Jenny Lawson’s already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter. We will meet in The Whisper Room to discuss Broken (in the best possible way) on Saturday, March 26 at 11:30. Join the Book du Mois Facebook Group to be sure you don't miss any of our upcoming Book du Mois picks, and support Beausoleil Books by getting your copy Broken (in the best possible way) through our affiliates Bookshop and Libro.fm. In Broken, Jenny explores her experimental treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation with brutal honesty. But also with brutal humor. Jenny discusses the frustration of dealing with her insurance company in “An Open Letter to My Insurance Company,” which should be an anthem for anyone who has ever had to call their insurance company to try and get a claim covered. She tackles such timelessly debated questions as “How do dogs know they have penises?” We see how her vacuum cleaner almost set her house on fire, how she was attacked by three bears, business ideas she wants to pitch to Shark Tank, and why she can never go back to the post office. Of course, Jenny’s long-suffering husband Victor—the Ricky to Jenny’s Lucille Ball—is present throughout. More than just a local bookstore, Beausoleil Books hopes to bring the Acadiana community closer and create space for togetherness.
