Happy Book Birthday to I Blame Television

Happy Pride Month, Furious Readers! And happy book birthday to Elizabeth Teets and her debut essay collection, I BLAME TELEVISION: ESSAYS ON THE POP CULTURE THAT RAISED, RUINED, AND ENRAPTURED ME!

From her mother’s Oregon living room, to underground comedy stages, and eventually the glamorous and brutal Los Angeles, Elizabeth Teets writes about growing up feminine, queer, and unapologetically earnest in a world built on irony. Born into a body that’s set on permanent “frolic mode” and unable to understand her peers’ ongoing cynicism, Teets wonders if she may be the punchline. With wit, vulnerability, and a feminist eye for the ridiculous, this essay collection explores what happens when you refuse to play the role society assigns you. From making questionable financial decisions reinforced by Sex and the City to the thrill of finding discount designer garb with Marge Simpson, each essay balances warmth with moments of laugh-out-loud humor. Because even in a world where the joke seems to be on you, you can put on some platforms, brush out your hair, and decide to flip the script.

We are so pleased to introduce I BLAME TELEVISION to the world and hope you love the essays as much as we do. It's the perfect companion to your Pride Month celebrations and to your TBR. Available wherever books are sold.
