review 1: This was the first book of Notaro's that I have read. Looking back I maybe should have chosen one of her earlier ones first but it happened to be the one that I grabbed off the shelf at the library. I did enjoy The Potty Mouth at the Table. Most of her stories were funny and I found some of them very similar to my own life so it was easy to relate. I will be going back and grabbing a few more of her books to read.
review 2: i am coming around on laurie notaro. i think now she just writes these essays for her books & isn't churning them our for a newspaper column. you can tell. they're funnier, they are less of an annoying newspaper column length, & she's starting to master the call-back. i still think her all-time best story was the one about her friend falling... more into the pond at the japanese garden, followed by the exploding corduroy pants story (which both might have been from the same essay, actually), but some of the stuff in here about the hobos that camp out behind her house made me laugh out loud. i also just like books like this more (short, funny essays) now that i have a kid & don't have scads of spare time to devote to serious reading. less
