From the coverNe Oublie
I’m certain I graduated from college, but I haven’t seen my diploma in over twenty years. I can’t find the parking ticket I got yesterday. It’s probably sitting in the same drawer alongside the one I can’t find from last week. At age 14, I remember holding my social security card for approximately five minutes before I misplaced it and never saw it again. Last week, I found a watch I thought I’d lost months ago inside of a shoe. Perhaps that’s why I’m pretty good at memorizing lines of dialogue and people’s phone numbers—I can’t be counted on to save the paper I wrote them on, and even if I put the info into my phone, it might take me a while to remember where I left it. I lose my phone, my wallet, and my keys multiple times a day. Sometimes, I’ll go into the kitchen to find that book I’ve been reading and two hours later I have organized the silverware drawer but have zero recollection of what I came into the kitchen for. “One fish goes this way, the other fish goes that way,” is how a friend once described these absentminded tendencies. I am a Pisces, after all.
Possibly, I got it from my dad. Growing up, I didn’t own a set of house keys. He probably lost his own set too many times before he gave up and decided it was easier just to leave the front door open (please don’t break into my dad’s house). As a teen, I was taught to leave car keys in the ignition, because how else was anyone supposed to find them? (Please don’t steal my dad’s car.) To this day, my father is well known for driving away with a coffee mug still on the roof of his car, and even though everyone in the family has bought him countless pairs of nicer sunglasses, the only ones he seems unable to lose are the neon-green mirrored ones intended for road biking.
But what my dad has lost in sets of keys, he’s made up for with his ability to paint vivid pictures of the past. As a keeper of the objects and details of the present, his record may be spotty, but as a minder of memories, he excels.
My father is an excellent storyteller with a tight repertoire. If his stories were songs, he wouldn’t have a ton of deep cuts, but he could fill an entire album of Greatest Hits. As a kid, I lived for the rotation of stories from his own childhood: the time he got separated from his mom in the grocery store and a neighbor found him and brought him home; the day his family became the first on the block to own a television; racing on the beaches of Long Island with his collie, King. Then there was an entire spinoff series about Dad and his childhood friend Georgie. Dad and Georgie taking the train to Coney Island to ride the Ferris wheel; Dad and Georgie dressing in trench coats and fedoras for their secret club in which they pretended to be Al Capone’s henchmen; Dad and Georgie going to the soda shop, where they’d sit at the counter after football practice and order an egg cream or a “suicide” (an ice cream sundae involving a scoop of every available flavor).
As I got older, the stories matured as well. There was the one about his senior prom date, Angela, who’d fallen asleep under the sunlamp that day and came to the door beet red and puffy from crying, my father reassuring her he couldn’t tell at all (he could tell). And the day he met my mom as she was moving into his same apartment building, and she asked if he wouldn’t mind letting her make a call because her phone hadn’t been hooked up yet. The year he spent after college in Vietnam working for the Agency for International Development, where...

Lauren Graham is an actor, writer, and producer best known for her roles on the critically acclaimed series Gilmore Girls and Parenthood. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It; Talking as Fast as I Can; and Someday, Someday, Maybe. Graham has performed on Broadway and appeared in such films as Bad Santa, Because I Said So, and Max. She holds a BA in English from Barnard College and an MFA in acting from Southern Methodist University. She lives in New York and Los Angeles.
Beloved Gilmore Girls actress Graham (Talking as Fast as I Can; In Conclusion, Don't Worry About It) returns to the publishing world with another fun collection of humorous essays chronicling her career, wellness camps, puppies, aging, and more. This collection is narrated by the actress herself, who is known for her fast-talking humor, candor, and comical view of the world. Filled with anecdotes, directing advice, shoplifting stories, eyebrow woes, and more, this isn't the average celebrity memoir, although there is some fun name-dropping and Hollywood stories. Readers are in for a treat with Graham's comedic timing, jovial voice, and candid "we could be friends" attitude. Graham's lively, warm narration makes this effervescent essay collection shine. VERDICT A lighthearted look behind the curtain into the life and mind of one of today's most down-to-earth celebrities. Highly recommended; share with fans of smart and funny celebrity memoirs such as Amy Schumer's The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo or Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns).--Erin Cataldi

It's a delight to listen to warm and witty actor Lauren Graham ("Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood") share her insights and reminiscences of her family and professional life in her second memoir. While much of this brief collection details Graham's challenges and triumphs in her lengthy acting, directorial and screenwriting career, the most poignant moments depict the impact of Graham's mother having left her family when she was only 4. She also offers a balanced and humorous approach to aging. Indeed, humor infuses this entire audiobook, adding a light counterpoint to Graham's practical and adaptable nature, which comes through in her inviting narration. Graham's upbeat yet sensible performance makes the audiobook the best way to take in her story. M.J. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
