Not My Type

One Woman vs. a President

De: E. Jean Carroll

Narrado por: E. Jean Carroll

AN INSTANT INDIE, USA TODAY, AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

“The world knows that Carroll prevailed in her gazillion-dollar lawsuits against Trump for defamation and sexual abuse. But hearing her describe that courtroom battle in her own smoky, mirth-filled drawl is an experience too delicious for the printed page. Which is why you shouldn’t read Not My Type—you should listen to it.”—The Washington Post

"Delightful . . . We already know that E. Jean Carroll looked smashing when she went to court versus Donald J. Trump. But her irrepressible voice was, necessarily, repressed...Now she is saying pretty much everything."—The New York Times Book Review

"Buoyant."—The New York Times

A hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind the scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation

You’ve heard about the tantrums, the seething, the storming out of court, yes. But what about E. Jean’s side of the story? What about the flight suits, the bottle of green Chartreuse, and the bob?

Not My Type puts you in a better seat than the jury box.

You will hear Alina Habba, Esq., “Trump’s most beautiful attorney,” asking E. Jean to “list” the people she has “slept with”—a list which turns out to be so marvelous, it is worth twice the price of this book. You will experience the fear and loathing of E. Jean’s “psychiatric evaluations,” and hear how she tries to cheer up Trump’s gloomy, $750-an-hour shrink by telling him about the strange white tablet Hunter S. Thompson gave her.

You will be in on the choosing of the “clothes for court,” and the creation of “the look”: a look that will help the jury connect the younger E. Jean who is attacked by Trump in Bergdorf’s with the older E. Jean who sits in the courtroom.

It’s all here: two dazzling trials, the full-tilt high stakes, the laugh-out-loud commentary, and the inspiring fact that a woman is never too old to get even.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Shockingly hilarious... a thriver from a bygone era when writers knew how to really live and propel their prose with rocket fuel... Carroll has written what may be the last great work of New Journalism... employs all her wit, erudition and insight."—Ron Charles, Book Club Newsletter, Washington Post

"Fascinating on so many levels...so, so funny...such keen and hilarious observations."―Katie Couric

"Uses quick asides, charming anecdotes, goofball humor and court transcripts to detail her fight against the most powerful man in America, it feels hopeful...She’s still so wholly E. Jean. Right there, on the page. Erratic. Funny. Full of life...A field guide for fighting fascism and winning, and not just winning but triumphing and remaining wholly, exuberantly, exasperatingly human."—Lyz Lenz, MSNBC

Eloquent and gripping

E. Jean Carroll is brilliant, courageous and witty. I deeply appreciate her standing strong in her convictions. Her wins in court serve all of us who value justice and democracy.

Brava, brava, brava!

Now one of my favourite memoirs, and I've read many.

First, what writing! I haven't laughed this hard at so many wonderfully turned phrases in a long time. Love me some good Swiftian satire. Having not read her advice column, blogs, or seen her on TV, I will now search her out because she tenaciously squeezes joy and piss and vinegar out of every phrase. Each page pulses with a sentence worthy of Bruni's "For the Love of Sentences" vignettes, written like Austen, Rushdie, or Proust (yes, that madeleine), and with absolute aplomb and glorious glee. And oooooh what lists, from trial snacks packed to PDF pics to wardrobe prep to the Great Eight (OMG, I'm so impressed -- brava, girl!). Read. The. Book.

Second, do yourself a favour: don't just read it -- listening to Carroll's deliciously sage voice telling her yarn was icing on (Miss Havisham's) cake.

Then, there's the story. This modern David defying Goliath account constituted a balm for these heinously troubled times in which we are all living. She's an amalgam of Jo March, Aria Stark, Elizabeth Bennett, Scout Finch, Maria Yavanovitch, and Sarah Conner, with a smidge of Holly Golightly. And it wasn't all just laughter -- this is, after all, a recounting of sexual assault -- yet, I rejoiced with smiles-through-tears twice. Read. The. Book.

Finally, because I practiced criminal law for decades, I tend to avoid diversions involving law-related stories since they usually present the justice system unrealistically. Yet, this two-trial courtroom tale written by a rape victim harbouring exceptional journalistic chutzpah nails every detail. Never did I ever think that a book chronicling rape / defamation / and a toddler-tempered tyrant could be so moving and hilarious. Well, folks, it is. Read. The. Book.

E. Jean -- PLEASE come on a book tour to Paris. American expats would LOVE to see you here.

Everyone needs to read

This book gives us all the details of E. Jean Carroll’s journey suing Donald Trump for his heinous crimes against her. It’s an incredible story of her victory.

Truth

EJean Carroll never stopped telling the truth and truth matters. You proved 47 is not only a lier but a rapist.
Thank you EJean for your strength.

Hanging out with your wisest, snarkiest friend

So many laugh aloud moments. E Jean calls them as they are. She’s a great narrator too.

Fate favors the fearless, tireless, and relentlessly funny, and honest.

Love E. Jean. This book is a “must listen”. Not until I listened did I get the Ms. Carroll’s epic loss, three decades-long loss, of the ability to enjoy the pleasure of being in relationship with a romantic partner.

DJT took her innocence, joy, pleasure, ability to have a lovely evening with a man, a kiss, and the waking up in the arms of a lover. For decades. From the day he raped her on, Ms. Carroll eschews any romantic joys.

Additionally, she endures, after she files suit, death threats and horrific taunts, murderous emails, Tweets, and more for years.

This singular woman stands up to the 45th — on behalf of the other 47 women known to have claimed they, too, had been violated, and all the other millions of women in the world who have been horrified, offended, shocked, stunned and enraged that someone who says “Grab ‘em by the pussy” and has offended people with disabilities, people from “shithole countries”, people with any semblance of decency, with almost gleeful perversion, could end up being the “leader” of the free world.

So I love the book and Ms. Carroll. And highly recommend the book.

And recommend that Ms. Carroll receive whatever award and accolade she could possibly receive for her courage, integrity, drive, energy, persistence, fashion sense, love of animals and nature, and wondrous ability to write and share stories with honesty and humor.

Thank you, E. Jean.

You rock.

An antidote sorely needed for Trump fatigue

E Jean Carroll is not the reserved well dressed woman shown during her trial coverage. she is a feisty, snarky and deadly brilliant human being. Read in her own smoky and vibrantly expressive voice, this book was a roller coaster ride thru the never before reported details behind the two Carroll trials. I simply could not stop listening! includes a pdf of pictures which she refers to during the reading of the book. Am so glad I chose the audio version since her voice and personality really add to the text.

A breath of fresh air

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Jean tell her story. As unbelievable as it seems for a 1 percenter - this one in particular- to get what they deserve - the story is delicious. So very happy Jean had the courage to put her life on display to bring some accountability to the untouchables, Wonderful to hear how she intends to invest the $ but I do hope she spends some on self indulgence - she definitely deserves it.

A hilarious, resonant, infuriating and ultimately triumphant read

I’ve loved E. Jean for decades and was expecting another great read, but this is even better than I’d anticipated. What a combination of wit and bravery. Way to go from a consistently entertaining writer to a freaking hero.

Great listen, laughing out loud!

Loved the humor, behind the scenes detail, and fashion tips. Also loved the strength to have gotten through such an ordeal.
