“A totally entertaining and original writer…I dare you to feel differently.”— Ira Glass, This American Life

A castle is the ultimate “expectation vs. reality” meme. Lindy grew up dreaming of magic beyond everyday life, but reality has a way of grinding the fantasy out of you. Pets and parents die, dreams get downsized, and it turns out castles aren’t magical at all—they’re just wet, stinking military installations. Outrageous!  NYT Best-Selling Author Lindy West takes audiences on a hilarious, bittersweet journey from hope to disillusionment, and back again.
