Poser: My Life in 23 Yoga Poses by Claire Dederer (December, 2010: Farrar, Straus, Giroux) Praise for Poser: “Thank goodness, then for Claire Dederer, who has written the book we all need: the long-awaited funny, smart, clear-headed, thoughtful, truthful and inspiring yoga memoir. To simplify my praise: I absolutely loved this book.” — Elizabeth Gilbert, author of EAT, PRAY, LOVE “[F]unny, charming, self-deprecating, stealthily inspirational and (quite possibly) best-selling…” -The New York Times “This book contains not platitudes, but real, hard-won insights; yoga became, for Dederer, a rebellion against goodness, not a path to it. This story of her revolt against perfectionism is a joy to behold and a true inspiration.” — Kate Christensen, author of THE GREAT MAN “Dederer is a brilliant writer whose prose sparkles and cuts deep. Poser is a book you will want to immediately share with your friends. It’s hilarious, unflinching and bursting with love.” — Maria Semple, author of THIS ONE IS MINE “This funny, spectacularly well-observed, and moving book does what even yoga can’t: it provides solace while making you laugh. I feel three inches taller.” — Henry Alford, author of HOW TO LIVE: A SEARCH FOR WISDOM FROM OLD PEOPLE (WHILE THEY ARE STILL ON THIS EARTH)
