Irby takes the stage to present a reprint of his much-loved collection of intelligent, edgy and unapologetically raunchy personal essays – Meaty. She joins the conversation with writer Lindy West, author of Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman and opinion editor for The New York Times. Irby and West discuss this collection of riotous essays written with the same scathing wit and poignant frankness that thousands of loyal readers have come to expect from Irby's notoriously hilarious blog. Join Irby and West and laugh through these stories of failed relationships, taco feasts, battles with Crohn's disease and much more.
