  Though Nevermind was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, In Utero has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of In Utero is told for the first time.

  A Literary Hub Most Noteworthy Nonfiction Book of 2024 • A Brooklyn Rail Best Art Book of 2024 • A The Millions and Hyperallergic Most Anticipated Book of 2024 • A Publishers Weekly Summer Reads Pick 
  ""A book that emerges out of the moment, electric with timely energies.""  –Washington Post 
  “Keen and refreshing.” –Cathy Park Hong 
  ""Genius."" –Claudia Rankine 
  An expansive and deeply personal essay collection which explores the aesthetics of class aspiration, the complications of creating art and fashion, and the limits of identity politics. 
  In Robyn’s 2010 track Dancing on My Own, the Swedish pop-singer chronicles a night on the dance floor in the shadow of a former lover. She is bitter, angry, and at times desperate, and yet by the time the chorus arrives her frustration has melted away. She decides to dance on her own, and in this way, she transforms her solitude into a more complex joy.      
  Taking inspiration from Robyn’s seminal track, emerging art critic and curator Simon Wu dances through the institutions of art, capitalism, and identity in these expertly researched, beautifully rendered essays. In “A Model Childhood” he catalogs the decades’ worth of clutter in his mother’s suburban garage and its meaning for himself and his family. In “For Everyone,” Wu explores the complicated sensation of the Telfar bag (often referred to as “the Brooklyn Birkin”) and asks whether fashion can truly be revolutionary in a capitalist system—if something can truly be “for everyone” without undercutting someone else. Throughout, Wu centers the sticky vulnerability of living in a body in a world where history is mapped into every choice we make, every party drug we take, and every person we kiss. 
  Wu’s message is that to dance on your own is to move from critique into joy. To approach identity with the utmost sympathy for the kinds of belonging it might promise, and to look beyond it. For readers of Cathy Park Hong and Alexander Chee, Dancing on My Own is a deeply felt and ultimately triumphant anthem about the never-ending journey of discovering oneself, and introduces a brilliant new writer on the rise.

  Amy’s life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. She married actor Will Arnett, had two sons, and navigated the pressures of balancing a family and a demanding career. She writes candidly about her time on Saturday Night Live (SNL), her divorce from Will Arnett, and her lessons about life, work, and love. One chapter features Seth Meyers’ account of what happened the weekend her first son, Archie, was born. Another chapter includes a funny letter Amy wrote to herself about the unrealistic expectations she had going into motherhood. 
  Despite her success, Amy has always been a realist. She reflects on mistakes, including a controversial joke she made on SNL about a disabled person. When she realized her error, she made sure to track down the individual and apologize. In doing so, she learned a valuable lesson about compassion, forgiveness, and owning up to your mistakes. 
  Amy’s journey took her from working the comedy circuit in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles to finding her breakout role as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. Along the way, she met and collaborated with comedy legends like Tina Fey and Seth Meyers, both of whom played key roles in shaping her career.
