Gina School - Gina Barreca

\n With eight million (and counting) readers of her Psychology Today blog-column, People magazine called Dr. Gina Barreca smart and funny. Bestselling novelist Wally Lamb says, Barreca's prose, in equal measures, is hilarious and humane. Feminist humor maven [Gina Barreca offers] her characteristic wit and wisdom, writes Ms. Magazine. Barreca learned to do what any sassy smarty-pants would: challenge stale ideas and press buttons, raves the Chicago Tribune. Barreca writes with intelligence and wit, applauds the L.A. Times. Everyone's favorite professor and advisor Gina Barreca is wicked, witty, and wonderful, (Library Journal), who gets it just right (Booklist) and ... is an unfailingly winning narrator, providing her readers with humor along with serious insight (Publishers Weekly). \n \nGINA SCHOOL offers open, early, and rolling admissions, perpetual latecomers, mature students, speed readers, book groups, gloriously erudite librarians, anxious applicants in need of reassurance, writers in need of prompts, and gift givers. Extravagantly illustrated, provocative, reassuring and witty, GINA SCHOOL-- a gorgeously delicate yet voluptuous volume -- is virtually impossible to resist as an emotional support book, a motivating tome, and a daily inspiration source. GINA SCHOOL reassures readers that they are not alone, they are not nuts, and that laughing together is as close as you can get to another person without hugging them. You never have to graduate from GINA SCHOOL and will return with delight, given that it pairs just as well with coffee and cake, cheese and fruit, espresso and champagne--and, if you wish, a cap and gown. \n
