About this listen

From the razor-sharp mind of comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a collection of hilarious and insightful essays about the exasperating issues of everyday life.

All Things Aside is a punchy, honest, incisive book that shares a view of the world through the eyes of the inimitable Iliza Shlesinger. From the macro to micro, Shlesinger tackles it all with her no-bullshit comedic style.

Throughout the book, Shlesinger dives from one subject into the next, making her hilarious asides the basis of her stories, much like she does in her stand-up comedy. Topics range from dissecting social expectations to the notion that products marketed specifically to women are scams, and all manner of things in between. She even dares to ask herself the all-important question that every woman is forced to consider at some point—Am I actually an annoying person? Shlesinger also shares intimate moments, including a devastating miscarriage, which she manages to navigate not only with grace but somehow with side-splitting humor.

As Margaret Cho explains in the book’s foreword, “Every woman has something to gain from the Everywoman Iliza presents in her hilarious and astute worldview … I’ve learned [from Iliza] that you don’t have to quit when you are in pain, that you can write your way out of the suffering. That there is beautiful truth to be unearthed from the depths of despair. That the stupid can be smart and that we put ourselves through hell for nothing.”

All Things Aside offers unexpected insights, much-needed truths, and tons and tons of laughs.

Illiza is the zeitgeist of my generation and a voice of reason in these divisive, turbulent times. She combines comedy with clarity in such a way that takes reality and makes it as palatable as a stunning mountain vista. I thoroughly enjoy her specials, her in-person comedy shows, and, now, her books.

Perspectives of a Highly Intelligent Person

The delivery of the audio book seemed a bit rushed and intense. On stage her sharp and outrageously funny bits require her to pause in between them for the audience response. Without that, it got a bit overwhelming, like so much was coming at me non-stop. Still I loved her girl logic, her silly asides, and her brilliant observations and rules for being human.

I love her comedy, her intelligence, and her fearlessness.

This was like sitting on the couch listening to a friend chat/gab/vent/rant and I loved all of it.

As an avid Iliza fan I was blown away by her second book. As a fellow elder millennial I have never related to a book more. Hearing her read the book was such a highlight as opposed to just reading it myself. Listening to her perform her book must have been exhausting, but by the end I was even more in love with her standup than before. I can’t want to listen again. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

As a European Millenial, I couldnt necessarily relate to all her opinions, situations or stories, but the way she writes AND reads aloud is hilarious and witty! Her voices and stream of consciousness feed happily into my ADHD! Wonderful read..or..rather listen! 🤗
