Sittenfeld's wryly hilarious and insightful new collection, Help yourself, illuminates human experience and gracefully upends our assumptions about class and race, envy and disappointment, gender and celebrity.<br/><br/>Suburban friends fall out after a racist encounter at a birthday party is caught on video and posted on Facebook; an illustrious Manhattan film crew are victims of their own snobbery when they underestimate a pre-school teacher from the Mid-West; and a group of young writers fight about love and narrative style as they compete for a prestigious bursary.<br/><br/>Connecting each of these three stories is Sittenfeld's truthful yet merciless eye. Full of tenderness and compassion, this dazzling collection celebrates our humanity in all its pettiness and glory.
