Intemperate outbursts from one nutty broad!
Not to be Rude is a painfully assembled collection
of writing by Sarina Rowell from cult humour websites The
Scrivener’s Fancy and Imagined Slights.
Here, all in one place, for the first and last time, she
goes into bat for the unfairly maligned – thirtysomething,
Nicole Kidman, fashion models and being ‘childless by
choice’; and goes into bat against the unfairly
non-maligned – tapas restaurants, second-hand booksellers,
live performances and Audrey Hepburn. If you loved the BBC
production of Pride and Prejudice with Colin
Firth, you won’t love Not to be Rude, and will,
furthermore, be demonstrating your own terrible taste.
‘Pretty damned funny.’
–TONY MARTIN (the comedian, not the cyclist)
