HTML:<p><b>“These essays are a pleasure; Bird makes her readers feel smart, urbane, and in on the joke, and that their own stories are worth sharing too.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br />  <br /> When Sarah Bird arrived in Austin in 1973 in pursuit of a boyfriend who was “hotter than lava,” she found an abundance of storytelling inspiration (for example, her sweetheart left her for Scientology, but she got to taste a morsel of Lynda Bird Johnson’s poorly preserved wedding cake as a temp worker at the LBJ Library). She went on to write ten acclaimed novels and hundreds of articles, developing a signature voice that combines laser-sharp insight with irreverent, wickedly funny prose in the tradition of Molly Ivins and Nora Ephron.<br /> Now collecting forty of Bird’s best nonfiction pieces, from publications that range from <i>Texas Monthly</i> to the <i>New York Times</i> and beyond, <i>Recent Studies Indicate</i> presents some of her earliest work, including a prescient 1976 profile of a transgender woman, along with recent calls to political action, such as her 2017 speech at a benefit for Annie’s List.<br /> Whether Bird is hanging out with socialites and sanitation workers or paying homage to her army-nurse mom, her collection brings a poignant perspective to the experience of being a woman, a feminist, a mother, and a Texan—and a teller of spectacular true stories.<br />  <br /> “Delightful . . . You can open the book to just about any story and enjoy a few minutes of good reading and, more likely than not, a hearty laugh.” ―<i>Abilene Reporter-News</i><br />  <br /> “Lively, honest . . . More timely than ever.” —Cecile Richards</p>.
