Resumen del Editor
A former child actress best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer "cute" enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal struggles, like navigating love and loss and figuring out who you are and where you belong. Honest, insightful, and hilarious, Where Am I Now? introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up young and female.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Wilson's humorous literary voice tells the story of growing up as a young female in the spotlight (and eventually stepping out of it) and the road of self-acceptance, discovery and everything in between.” (BuzzFeed)
"[Wilson] returns as a talented writer with this collection of essays." (Entertainment Weekly, "15 Books You Have to Read in September")
"Funny [and] insightful." (GoodReads, "Best Books of the Month")

Lauren Weedman is not okay. She's living what should be the good life in sunny Los Angeles. After a gig as a correspondent with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, she scored parts in blockbuster movies, which led to memorable recurring roles on HBO's Hung and Looking. She had a loving husband and an adorable baby boy. In these comedic essays, she turns a piercingly observant, darkly funny lens on the ways her life is actually not okay.

Historia
In 1969, Illeana Douglas' parents saw the film Easy Rider and were transformed. Taking Dennis Hopper's words - "That's what it's all about, man" - to heart, they abandoned their comfortable upper-middle-class life and gave Illeana a childhood filled with hippies, goats, free spirits, and free love. Illeana writes, "Since it was all out of my control, I began to think of my life as a movie, with a Dennis Hopper-like father at the center of it." I Blame Dennis Hopper is a rollicking, funny, at times tender exploration of the way movies can change our lives.

This is the story of every American outsider on a path to find themselves in a country of beautiful diversity.

In the tradition of Cynthia Heimel and Chelsea Handler, and with the boisterous iconoclasm of Amy Sedaris, Julie Klausner's candid and funny debut I Don't Care about Your Band sheds light on the humiliations we endure to find love - and the lessons that can be culled from the wreckage. I Don't Care about Your Band posits that lately the worst guys to date are the ones who seem sensitive. It's the jerks in nice guy clothing, not the players in Ed Hardy, who break the hearts of modern girls.

Growing up in a Philadelphia suburb in the 1970s was an easy life. Well, easy as long as you didn't have dyslexia or ADD, or were a Jew. And once you added gay into the mix, life became more difficult. So Todd Glass decided to hide the gay part, no matter how comic, tragic, or comically tragic the results. Now, Todd has written an open, honest, and hilarious memoir in an effort to help everyone - young and old, gay and straight - breathe a little more freely.

She isn't afraid to say what everyone is thinking when it comes to love, sex, friendship, and many other topics that are all too often sugar-coated in polite Southern company.

"You'll change your mind." That's what everyone says to Jen Kirkman - and countless women like her - when she confesses she doesn't plan to have children. But you know what? It's hard enough to be an adult. You have to dress yourself and pay bills and remember to buy birthday gifts. You have to drive and get annual physicals and tip for good service. Some adults take on the added burden of caring for a tiny human being with no language skills or bladder control.

Historia
Kenya Curtis is only eight years old, but she knows that she's different, even if she can't put her finger on how or why. It's not because she's black - most of the other students in the fourth-grade class at her West Philadelphia elementary school are, too. Maybe it's because she calls her father - a housepainter-slash-philosopher - "Baba" or because her parents' friends gather to pour out libations "from the Creator, for the Martyrs" and discuss "the community".

You never know what someone's going through.
Take away the fact that Mara was a famous child actor and you'll get to know an amazing, loving person. Her story would be great for anyone who grew up a rockstar; that is a star athlete, a model student in school, that seemingly perfect child who experienced all the attention only to grow up and realize it was short lived fame. I watched the struggles of my kids who did great things only to graduate high school and realize most of their friends on teams, choir, drama, and clubs were really not their friends. I never knew how much they struggled with fears, sadness, and anxiety until they were in their 20's. As a parent, you can protect them from some of the heart ache.
Mara's story was beautiful, honest, an eye opening for me. I bought the book Kissing Doorknobs for two of my daughters to read when I'm finished. Thank you Mara. You really are a beautiful soul. jacquelinedunn212@hotmail.com

Great Read -
The 1996 Matilda movie was trending on Netflix for the US. So I watched the movie to bring back some nostalgia and remembered how much I enjoyed watching Mara act when I was younger. From Matilda to Miracle on 34th Street all the way to A Simple Wish. To this day I still watch Mrs. Doudtfire every few years. I thought the title for this book was perfect, as I sometimes wonder, "Where is this actress now." So clever. This was a great read from her childhood to adulthood. It was comforting to know experiences others have you've never met sometimes have the same experiences as you. The book pulled at the heart strings, made me angry with how journalist or strangers treated her (as a child and adult), and also brought laughter in some of the chapters. I'm really glad Mara wrote this book and shared it with the world. 10/10 would recommend.

Very easy to listen to Mara as she narrates her life. I was laughing one moment and crying the next as I joined her on this journey of self-discovery. Have a listen!

Love!
I loved how candid this book is! I think hearing the author read it, is what really made it for me. I've had anxiety over everything my entire life and knowing that I'm not the only one truly helps. I think that my next read will be "Kissing Doorknobs" so I can have a better understanding of OCD

great story telling and very powerful,
I feel for Mara and her struggles with anxiety as I have had my own struggles in this area. I wish her the best and look forward to reading more by her or maybe see her in future movies, thank you Mara.

From just curious to unlikely relatable.
Grateful for Matilda and everyone and everything that made that character available in my life I am curious about Mara Wilson’s perspective. Her narrative is gripping and who would have known, her story relatable. Sometimes funnier and all of the time more entertaining than Ellen’s Relatable because Mara’s story telling overrides comedy in “badassedness”.

An amazing and intimate journey
This book is full of laughs, tears, sympathetic anxiety, and every emotion in between. You’ll empathize with Mara, feel like you’re in her head for the uncomfortable moments but still the benefit of retrospect is always there.

A Powerful Personal Story
What I Liked: Mara Wilson's words are already amazingly powerful on their own as she writes with a very open and honest approach to things. She doesn't give you a detailed blow-by-blow of her every moment in those years but she is open and honest about her struggles and looks at key moments in her life to give us a better picture of what she's went through at the time. Her big chapter written as a sort of letter to Matilda as a character is probably one of the most powerful parts of the story.
Growing up is never easy, especially when you feel that you're one of the "weird" kids or something like that. And she captures the sense of teen awkwardness perfectly. I keep stressing this point, but I can't help but remark on just how candid and sincere the writing feels from start to finish. Add in Wilson's brilliant narration for this audio book really brings it home.
What Could Have Been Better: What can I really complain about here? There may be the fan mentality of wanting to know more about this or that portion of her life like tell us more about your relationship with the other Mrs. Doubtfire kids or tell us even more about Robin Williams. But then you can't really since she carefully curated what parts of her life went into this book and we have to respect those reasons.
There area also those bits that don't necessarily feel like they deserved as much detail, but again it's hard to comment. In many ways, one can't help but feel that writing this was more for Mara Wilson and not for potential readers, and that's not a bad thing at all. I could be totally wrong, but that's how much I respect this work.

Matilda wrote a book!
Lovely book by a very thoughtful person. I found her honesty touching without being too self satisfying. Her sadder stories were told sensitively and her funnier stories were thoughtfully funny. I really enjoyed it.
