I Told You So - Softcover

I Told You So is true, terrifying, and coffee-out-yournose funny. I love Kate Clinton. Buy the book, or I'll sic the NSA on your ass.--Rachel Maddow

"Kate Clinton makes our world bigger by sharing hers. With her laser-beam wit, she offers up a series of bittersweet, twisted, tart and tangy, honest, and from-the-heart essays. I enjoyed every minute of viewing the world through her eyes. All that and she is funny."--Lewis Black, The Daily Show

"A hilarious, jam-packed, and fun-filled collection of thoughts from the mind of an American original."--Lily Tomlin

"Clinton proves in these essays--which cover topics from the inherent lesbianism of Sex and the City to three-dimensional thesauri--that she still ranks among the sharpest, funniest working comedians."--Ms.

"[Clinton] throws just as many ingredients into the pot--she riffs on Hillary Clinton and waterboarding, baptism and Provincetown--but comedic license and her own wicked sense of humor allow Clinton a kind of thematic ADD that fiction would not afford."--Kathi Wolfe, Washington Blade

I Told You So is a hilarious, bittersweet, and politically acute survival guide. In collected columns and routines, Kate Clinton gleefully details personal coping techniques tested over a lifetime. They're perfectly suited for political and cultural upheaval: wildcatting for democracy, curbing your cynicism, and changing the climate. Read them and you'll never be voted off the island.
