あらすじ・解説
“Equal parts pee-your-pants hilarity and break your heart poignancy—like the perfect brunch date you never want to end!"—America Ferrera, Emmy award-winning actress in Ugly Betty
From the New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, an utterly original memoir-in-essays that is as deeply moving as it is disarmingly funny
Growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the ‘90s, Erika L. Sánchez was a self-described pariah, misfit, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy and dreamed of an unlikely life as a poet. Twenty-five years later, she’s now an award-winning novelist, poet, and essayist, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh, an acerbic wit, and singular powers of perception about the world around her.
In these essays about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression to the redemptive pursuits of spirituality, art, and travel, Sánchez reveals an interior life that is rich with ideas, self-awareness, and perception—that of a woman who charted a path entirely of her own making. Raunchy, insightful, unapologetic, and brutally honest, Crying in the Bathroom is Sánchez at her best: a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend.

CHICAGO REVIEW OF BOOKS AWARD WINNER 2022
“Sánchez is a raw, unapologetic, and acerbic writer, who leans into difficult topics [like] abortion… [her] writing evokes vivid images. It’s also humorous, contemplative and so conversational that it feels like she’s telling the story of her life over a cup of coffee.”—The Washington Post
"Raunchy and original and authentic and hilarious and heartbreaking."—Harlan Coben, on NBC's Today Show
"Quippy, earnest... these plainly told personal truths are as absorbing as a deep and wide-ranging conversation with a trusted friend... [Crying in the Bathroom] proves that delicacy and strength are no opposites. It is easy to imagine a vulnerable reader gobbling up Sánchez’ honesty and her reassurances that sorrow does not preclude pleasure."—The New York Times Book Review
