Jenny Slate is set to release her second essay collection titled 'Lifeform' on Oct. 22, marking a return to her unique style of storytelling. The book will delve into Slate's experiences with motherhood, capturing the complexities and beauty of this transformative journey.
Following her 2019 debut with 'Little Weirds,' which explored themes of love, feminism, and personal history, 'Lifeform' promises to offer a similarly introspective and humorous perspective. The book is structured around five phases - Single, True Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing - each offering a glimpse into different aspects of Slate's life.
Readers can expect a blend of humor, whimsy, and philosophical insights as Slate navigates topics ranging from post-partum experiences to fantastical musings. Her editor praises her unique voice and vision, highlighting Slate's ability to entertain and provoke thought simultaneously.
In addition to her upcoming book release, Slate recently premiered her second stand-up special 'Seasoned Professional' on Amazon Prime Video, where she humorously touches on her postpartum journey. Known for her versatility, Slate has also ventured into film with projects like 'Marcel the Shell With Shoes On' and the upcoming feature adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us.'
'Lifeform' will be published by Little, Brown and Company, with international rights representation by Laura Bonner. Fans of Jenny Slate can look forward to a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of life's many facets in her latest literary offering.
