ReviewsPraise for You're on an Airplane "Posey has a lot to say in You're on an Airplane ... Her style may seem dotty, but it's actually searingly direct. She tackles personal challenges that must have been painful...but still manages to find some loopy joy in the experience... She writes, jauntily, about her insecurities-her candor might even make you feel jaunty about your own." -- Time "Excellent...a celebration of peculiarity."-- Vogue "[ You're on an Airplane ] plays out on the page like an intimate performance you're privileged by chance to have caught...sublimely entertaining."-- The Weekly Standard "[Parker Posey] has deigned to bless us with her infinite wisdom and enough personal anecdotes to satiate even her most rabid fans. Glory be: she has a narrative voice! And it's just as funny and insouciant as you might hope!" --Booklist "[Parker] writes hilariously and thoughtfully." -- Kirkus Reviews "Posey's narrative is lighthearted and amusing, and it reveals her strong and independent spirit and serious devotion to acting. Indie film fans will especially enjoy this energetic romp through Posey's vibrant film career." -- Publishers Weekly "Irreverent in the best way possible." -- HelloGiggles, "Excellent...a celebration of peculiarity." -- Vogue "[ You're on an Airplane ] plays out on the page like an intimate performance you're privileged by chance to have caught...sublimely entertaining." -- The Weekly Standard "[Parker Posey] has deigned to bless us with her infinite wisdom and enough personal anecdotes to satiate even her most rabid fans.
