  From actor, comedian, co-creator of Marcel the Shell, and New York Times bestselling author of Little Weirds, Jenny Slate, a wild, soulful, hilarious collection of genre-bending essays depicting the journey into motherhood as you’ve never seen it before.   What happened was this: Jenny Slate was a human mammal who sniffed the air every morning hoping to find another person to love who would love her, and in that period there was a deep dark loneliness that she had to face and befriend, and then we are pleased to report that she did fall in love, and in that period she was like chimes, or a flock of clean breaths, and her spine lying flat was the many-colored planks on the xylophone, but also she was rabid with fear of losing this love, because of past injury. And then what happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing and then she exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a global plague and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal—but was this normal, and had she or anything ever been normal? Herein lies an account of this journey, told in five phases—Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing—through luminous, laugh-out-loud funny, unclassifiable essays that take the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a stork, fantasy therapy sessions, gossip between racoons, excerpts from an imaginary olden timey play, obituaries, theories about post-partum hair loss, graduation speeches, and more. No one writes like Jenny Slate.

Trevor is part of an elite squad of aliens from Alpha Centauri—the Super Ninja Alien Robot Monsters—the strongest, meanest and, possibly, dumbest life-forms in the Galaxy. Trevor's mission: Destroy Earth. The problem is ... he doesn't really want to. He can't tell anyone this, of course, or he'd be banished to the outer reaches of the Universe. So, together with his misfit invasion force, Trevor undertakes the long journey to Earth, all the while trying to figure out how he can possibly make this "unfailable" mission fail. ... this is his self-illustrated diary of the events that took place.
