About this product
Product Information
Musings from a "one-man flash mob" ( Toronto Star ) Comedian Shawn Hitchins explores his irreverent nature in this debut collection of essays. Hitchins doesn't shy away from his failures or celebrate his mild successes -- he sacrifices them for an audience's amusement. He roasts his younger self, the effeminate ginger-haired kid with a competitive streak. The ups and downs of being a sperm donor to a lesbian couple. Then the fiery redhead professes his love for actress Shelley Long, declares his hatred of musical theatre, and recounts a summer spent in Provincetown working as a drag queen. Nothing is sacred. His first major break-up, how his mother plotted the murder of the family cat, his difficult relationship with his father, becoming an unintentional spokesperson for all redheads, and mandy moore many more. Blunt, awkward, emotional, ribald, this anthology of humiliation culminates in a greater understanding of love, work, and family. Like the final scene in a Murder She Wrote episode, A Brief History of Oversharing promises everyone the A-ha moment Oprah tells us to experience. Paired with bourbon, Scottish wool, and Humpty Dumpty Party Mix, this journey is best read through a lens of schadenfreude.

Reviews
"It takes a special kind of person to write a play-by-play description of masturbation that is simultaneously hilarious, repulsive, and sweet. That person is Shawn Hitchins ... His book is at turns bawdy and beautiful ... He's not kidding when he says he's oversharing, but somehow he makes the mix of raw emotion and salty hilarity work." -- Foreword Reviews, "I am so glad I am not Shawn Hitchins, but I sure wish I could write like him. A Brief History of Oversharing is hilarious and heartwarming. Reading it is like sharing a warm bath with the man himself. At least I hope it's the bath that's warm." -- Michael Urie, actor (The Good Wife, Modern Family, Ugly Betty), "Thank you, Shawn Hitchins, for oversharing. Any loss of dignity you experienced from writing this memoir is a laugh-out-loud-funny gain for the rest of us." -- Rick Mercer "It takes a special kind of person to write a play-by-play description of masturbation that is simultaneously hilarious, repulsive, and sweet. That person is Shawn Hitchins ... His book is at turns bawdy and beautiful ... He's not kidding when he says he's oversharing, but somehow he makes the mix of raw emotion and salty hilarity work." -- Foreword Reviews "Each moment of sincerity or loss is sandwiched by punchlines and parody...Yet taken as a whole, there's a gentle depth to the collection, encouraging each of us, through bumbling example, to learn to accept our own quirks and flaws...like many good comedians, Hitchins is willing to excoriate himself to amuse -- and, just maybe, enrich -- his audience." -- Quill & Quire "There is an unanticipated poignancy that surfaces frequently in his stories. He is sharing (not oversharing) his vulnerability. There's not a hint of the maudlin in this. It's clear-eyed tough writing about the scars as well as the successes." -- David G. Hallman's blog "I am so glad I am not Shawn Hitchins, but I sure wish I could write like him. A Brief History of Oversharing is hilarious and heartwarming. Reading it is like sharing a warm bath with the man himself. At least I hope it's the bath that's warm." -- Michael Urie, actor ( The Good Wife , Modern Family , Ugly Betty ) "There is something quite beautiful in the bawdiness we read here." -- Reviews by Amos "A hilarious, thoughtful collection of essays that ultimately offer a collective message to accept ourselves, Hitchins' Anthology of Humiliation is the perfect way to add one of Canada's wittiest voices to any holiday gift exchange." - CBC Arts, The Year in Queer, "Each moment of sincerity or loss is sandwiched by punchlines and parody ... Yet taken as a whole, there's a gentle depth to the collection, encouraging each of us, through bumbling example, to learn to accept our own quirks and flaws...like many good comedians, Hitchins is willing to excoriate himself to amuse -- and, just maybe, enrich -- his audience." -- Quill & Quire, Press for Shawn Hitchins Ginger Nation: Enter human vitamin pill Chronicle Herald A one-man flash mob Toronto Star Hitchins is a funny and gifted performer who could easily host a late-night talk show. Now Magazine Hitchins rescues cabaret with a heavy dose of twenty-first century sass and sardonic wit.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
