Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same : The Life and Times of Some Chickens

A beautiful new gift edition of Sloane Tanen's bestselling Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same, with iconic scenes from modern life featuring fluffy yellow chicks.

With more personality than most people have to spare, artist Sloane Tanen’s tiny yellow chickens offer a crash course in navigating the tricky modern world.

Whether adhering to fad diets or braving bad dates, winning popularity battles or enduring annoyingly crowded yoga classes, these petite sophisticates are hunting (and pecking) for love and happiness in all the wrong places. Despite the frustrating obstacles of real life, they manage to hold fast to their dreams—and the ability to self-aggrandize.

Because occasionally, even a chicken’s fairy-tale wish can come true.

“Wee, bright yellow, plastic chicks complain about shopping, calories and boyfriends in this sassy volume . . . The author's tiny, beady-eyed chicks confront a hilarious selection of modern (and sometimes fantastical) situations . . . The chicks are darling, and the dioramas in which Tanen places them are perfect. This satirical take on the trials and tribulations of the modern, urbane female is sure to please the very sort it gently teases.” —Publishers Weekly

“A series of captioned dioramas starring spoiled princesses, socialites, and other fowl, some in very Sex and the City-like predicaments.” —New York magazine

“Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same focuses on the concerns of modern women, with offbeat and sometimes biting humor that stands in striking contrast to her artfully arranged dioramas starring fluffy pom-pom chicks . . . Hilarious, original and a bit unsettling, Tanen's wacky creation puts everyday problems in a whole new light--and that ain't chickenfeed.” —BookPage

“What's the appeal? The juxtaposition of poultry and Cosmo-girl musings . . . Pics include send-ups of high-end shopping, the Atkins diet, and Jewish dating.” —EW.com
