1. Leave the Building Quickly: True
Stories (P.S.) by Cynthia Kaplan
Another Fun Read From Kaplan
Cynthia Kaplan, acclaimed author of Why Im Like This, once again casts
her gimlet eye upon the current state of her affairs. A lso of your affairs, and
some other peoples affairs as well. Journey with her as she humiliates
herself in a variety of locales and fearlessly takes on all the important
issues of the day—including her family, intelligent design, Narnia, and New
Englands deer population.
Leave the Building Quickly is a hilarious, moving, bitingly honest, take-no-
prisoners incursion into the kind of real-life daily circumstances that inspire
us to crouch in the linen closet at three in the morning. But thats okay
because Kaplans there, too. And shes brought snacks.

2. Personal Review: Leave the Building Quickly: True Stories
(P.S.) by Cynthia Kaplan
Cynthia Kaplan is something like a female David Sedaris. She is more than
willing to share with the world all manner of embarrassing and completely
personal stories or in the case of "Very Special Thanks" takes the
opportunity to let her one-time mentor know exactly what she thinks of his
crappy advice.
Unlike some memoirists, Kaplan has not fought in a war or visited a
famine-plagued African village, but she has endured plenty of horrors, like
a Disney Cruise and the American health care system and describes them
in all their ugliness.
Her description of an audition for The Daily Show had me laughing so loud
that I was in tears, and even though I have never auditioned for any
Comedy Central show, I felt I could identify with her.
I see myself or others I know in so many of Kaplan's stories. I know the
aluminum safety ladder of which she speaks (Ours actually had survived a
few moves and was located beneath my parent's bed in its original box and
very helpfully, sealed with tape. So, naturally, my fear was that we would
all die in the blaze that engulfed our house while trying to open the taped-
shut box.)
Kaplan is funny and real. Her second book, like her first, was a treat to
read.
