“It’s precisely because Susie Day is writing from the barricades

that these caustic fables and topsy-turvy news items are so hilariously,

debilitatingly funny. There’s no ironic distance here, but a lucid clarity

that exposes the ludicrous roots of business as usual.” 

 — Alison Bechdel, cartoonist

 “Susie Day’s insistent voice provides us not only with clarity about some

of the most vexing issues we face, but with signature humor that keeps us from  breaking beneath the weight of the inhumanity and inequities she documents.

This collection of essays should be required reading for all.”

— asha bandele, author, The Prisoner’s Wife

“What if Thomas Paine had been funnier? Or Fran Lebowitz was leftier?

Read Snidelines: Talking Trash to Power and let the trash-talking revolution start!”

— Laura Flanders, author and broadcast journalist, host of GritTV

“Susie Day is precisely not part of a trend. Whether interviewing a Jesus weary  of his own brand, promoting Santa Claus to NSA chief, or bringing us into the  experiences of those she cherishes, her hilarious deadpan wire reports and heart on-the-sleeve homages form a category unto themselves.

These are humane bulletins from a dehumanizing time,  where the news is that laughter, tears, and commitment still matter.”

— Mark Sullivan, author of Slag: Poems

“She's fierce. She's smart. And she's a hoot... Susie Day is a masterful — and entertaining — satirist.  Her wordplay and vision are fortifying. We've long heard that laughter  is the best medicine — but we've now been reminded that it is also  an essential ingredient for community organizing, resistance,  and a principled defiance against wrongs and indignities.“ 

—Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout book review
