Suzy Soro - Comedian

Postcards from the 1940s, straight from my postcard rack.

I told Stuart Bronstein there was a nude picture of me in my book. No lie, he bought 10 copies. 

This is who - and where - I come from. Stop going to Disneyland. Go see the real world.

“If Frederico Fellini met Woody Allen and they took E and drank chianti all night and came up with a movie script, it would be "Mommy Tried To Kill Me," though they'd possibly argue over the title and die laughing at the suggested alternatives. I've never read a better autobiography, and Soro had me seriously laughing with her edgy, original humour, fast wit, and equally heart-rending passages that twice left me in tears. You can't make this stuff up: well, unless you're Fellini. The entire book passes every measure of entertainment, and despite her protestations to the contrary, with this book it's clear Soro has lived up to Henry David Thoreau's conclusion that endeavouring towards one's goal will result in success. She might claim she's waiting for it still, but she's already there. When I started the book, Soro was an online friend I met in 2008 through blogging who was famous for her role in Seinfeld, but by the end of the book she's one of the most unique Hollywood characters who should be hosting dusk soirees and basically being the 21st century's Dorothy Parker.” ~ Braja Sorensen 5 stars

My book is out! For people who say you can’t go home again, you can if you can put up with your mother’s pep talks and a cold Paris winter. And Charlie Hebdo, and your mother’s hospitalization with doctors who lie to you. And neighbors who try and take advantage of your Mom. And wine, thank god for French wine. https://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Tried-Kill-Me-drinking-ebook/dp/B01LZCZNSG/

I’ve started posting on Medium ahead of my book publication, which is weeks away. If you like the story, click on the heart at the end of it. 

My Mom just turned 90 and when I visited her in Paris this year I cleared out some of her stuff. This still had the shields in the package.
