And then what   happened was that she became a wild-pregnant-mammal-thing and then she   exploded herself by having a whole baby blast through her vagina during a   global plague and then she was expected to carry on like everything was normal-but   was this normal, and had she or anything ever been normal?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHerein lies an account of this journey, told in five phases-Single, True   Love, Pregnancy, Baby, and Ongoing-through luminous, laugh-out-loud funny,   unclassifiable essays that take the form of letters to a doctor, dreams of a   stork, fantasy therapy sessions, gossip between racoons, excerpts from an   imaginary olden timey play, obituaries, theories about post-partum hair loss,   graduation speeches, and more.
