“Funny lesbian Kate Clinton’s book of vignettes, “I Told You So” (May), 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.”
“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.”
“Along with her brilliant delivery, indefatigable work ethic, and uncompromising political courage, Kate Clinton possesses the superpower of maintaining consistent relevancy in our fickle, sound-bite-driven, instant-downloadable age.”
“Hot-button topics such as same-sex marriage . . . gays in the military and religious hypocrisy are fertile fodder for the author’s intelligently caustic ridicule. But Clinton also has the knack of spinning even the small moments of everyday life into comic gold.” Quotes
"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
"I Told You So is true, terrifying, and coffee-out-your-nose funny. I love Kate Clinton. Buy the book, or I'll sic the NSA on your ass."
—Rachel Maddow, Host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC and Air America
