About this listen

In this sharp and darkly funny new essay collection from the New York Times bestselling author, Cazzie David explores the irony and existential crises of leaving youth behind. This program is read by the author.

With her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, Cazzie reflects on the delusions that laid waste to her twenties and reckons with their consequences now that the specter of a new decade is looming. Touching on everything from the pressure to find the "right" partner, dealing with the relentless grip of social media, and navigating body dysmorphic spirals, Delusions cuts through the noise, offering personal anecdotes, sharp cultural criticism, and witty, honest contemplations on the chaos of contemporary adulthood. Cazzie brings her trademark voice—blunt, self-aware, and blisteringly funny—to essays that are as vulnerable as they are biting.

An attempt to mature in the span of one year

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press

Critic reviews

“Cazzie nails the stress of feeling like you’re running out of time. It’s an honest and hilarious take on fate and adulthood." —Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy

“And as sharp as funny as they come. Cazzie is her generation’s Nora Ephron. I now know where her father gets his sense of humor.” —Graydon Carter, author of When the Going Was Good

"I love Cazzie David. Birthed from Los Angeles and its adjacent town the Internet, her scathing and hilarious observations act as a perfect survival companion to these surreal and trying times." —Kate Berlant

"Entertaining...Uncomfortably amusing." —Kirkus

"Hilarious...This is relatable company for anyone afraid they wasted their 20s." —Publishers Weekly

"As vulnerable as it is bitingly funny." —Hey Alma

"With essays that employ her signature sharp humor to riff on the pressure to settle down with a partner, the ails of social media, and the looming specter of body dysmorphia, she puts into words what so many are feeling at this age." —W Magazine
