The book trailer has been unveiled for Jessi Klein’s forthcoming essay collection, You’ll Grow Out of It. Klein is one of the head writers for Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer.
The video embedded above offers glimpses of both Klein and her Comedy Central colleague, Nick Kroll. Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Group USA, released the book today.
In an interview with Salon, Klein talked about her thought process behind this project: “Part of it was that I didn’t think I was writing a memoir. I see why people look at it that way, but in my head that’s not what I was writing. I was like, ‘Oh, I’m just going to write these funny essays and some of them are about me, and some of them are more observational,’ but I didn’t feel like I was sitting down to do an accounting of my entire life. If you were to ask me today, ‘Do you want to write a memoir?’ I would say no.” (via Jessi Klein’s Twitter page)
