OH MIRIAM! Stories From an Extraordinary Life

Bold, hilarious, and completely unapologetic, Miriam Margolis invites you into a life lived with full throttle and no holds barred. From the first blush of love to outrageous backstage antics, from Blackadder turnips to Arnold Schwarzenegger's flatulence, Miriam's adventures span decades and continents, all told with her signature wit and fearless honesty. Chapters brim with her advice, observations, and misadventures: always talk about sex, don't drop the forceps, swearing is good for you, the joy of bottoms, staying married, family matters, and why life is like a cheesecake. Along the way, she recounts encounters with Vanessa Redgrave, Leonardo DiCaprio, Roald Dahl, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Margaret, Maggie Smith and so many more. Here are the many unexpected things she learned at school and what her Spice Girl name would be, not to mention her own Tale of the Unexpected and her own Vagina Monologue. With riotous anecdotes, candid reflections, and a cast of unforgettable characters, it's a sparkling, uproarious memoir of love, laughter, and living life on one's own terms. 16 pages of colour photos, large paperback, 324 pages.
