Author Samantha Irby discusses her new book of essays, being a “poop evangelist,” and what it’s really like in the AndJustLikeThat... writers room.

is a collection of essays covering an array of lifestyle and health topics: probiotics, porn, party etiquette. There’s genuine advice about why you should stop apologizing for liking things alongside musings on niche personal obsessions, like her passion for Dave Matthews’s falsetto and her preferred brand of toilet paper . Now comfortably in her forties, she writes with the confessional abandon of someone proudly in her cropped-palazzo-pants-and-smooth-jazz era.

I think of your books as anti coming-of-age stories. There’s nothing tropey, and if anything, you seem to be less comfortable in the world as you age, which feels consoling. One of my favorite things you say in the book is that you like following a nutritionist on Instagram because if you hired a real one, they’d hold you accountable.

Oh, my god, this is my crowning achievement—getting you to add these to your Spotify. I’m like a proud mother: “Oh, my little sweetie, growing up, putting adult contemporary flute music on her playlists.” I can be a little long-winded and a list is a good way to get a bunch of beats out without having to write the connective tissue. But also, I love to read a list, like, “this is what so-and-so keeps in her purse.” That is catnip for me.
