Kate Clinton calls FREAK OF NURTURE "laugh out loud outrageous storytelling" and Lambda Literary Foundation said that the book is "dynamic, generous and sharp...freakishly outstanding" ABOUT FREAK OF NURTURE “I got this email after I was on Penn and Teller’s Bullsh**, a woman wrote to me and said ‘you are SO disgusting, you are a freak of nature.’ Oh, my little hateful friend, you do not know me, you don’t know my family or you would know that indeed I am a freak of nurture“ -Kelli Dunham Essays and Stories by Kelli Dunham, published by Topside Press. For more information about the book, check out freakofnurture.org In Freak of Nurture, Kelli Dunham’s fifth book, Dunham demonstrates that hilarity and chaos reign when you combine what her therapist calls “deep biological optimism” with a hearty midwestern work ethic and determination to make bad ideas a fantastic reality. Whether she is writing about hitch-hiking across Haiti to help out with disaster relief, about getting kicked out of the convent for having “too much self esteem” or living on a houseboat in Philadelphia in the winter, Kelli Dunham‘s humorous interpretation of difficult situations is both inspiring and entertaining. In the tradition of authors such as David Sedaris and Ellen DeGeneres, Dunham’s “slice of life” stories remind us that even though humans are deeply flawed, we’re also seriously hysterical that way.
