Cut the Woman Some Slacks
by Bonny Belgum
156 pages
$18.00 paper
An outrageous collection of satirical essays that cuts through the crap of American culture. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll relate. Nothing escapes Bonny Belgum’s wit, not greedy HMOs, not husbands, not Long Dong Silver, not the Fourth of July. Cut the woman some slacks? She’ll cut them herself, thank you very much.
"Bonny Belgum's voice is straight-shooting, sharp and sassy, a cross between Maureen Dowd and Erma Bombeck."--Susan Shapiro, author of Lighting Up and Five Men Who Broke My Heart.
“Bonny Belgum has always been funny—and she gets better with age. Queen of the humorous essay form, Bonny looks at everyday life from the edges, with an idiosyncratic wit that makes you laugh and ponder at the same time.”—Mollie Hoben, Co-Founder and Publisher, Minnesota Women’s Press
“Hilarious! Bonny Belgum is a homespun smart-aleck, wisecracking her way through such modern horrors as office work, health care, homeownership, mindless flag-waving and other recent American lunacies.”—Greg Mandel, humor columnist for The Oregonian’s “Edge” and author of High Hat.
“Bonny Belgum looks at things we all deal with day to day. In the midst of the mundane, she sees the funny; and occasionally—when discovering a computer that refuses to recognize computer jargon, or day-dreaming about how a butler might spruce up an efficiency apartment—the profound.”—Russell Peterson, author of Strange Bedfellows: How Late-Night Comedy Turns Democracy Into a Joke
Bonny Belgum’s columns have appeared in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and The Minnesota Women’s Press.
