The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank [Paperback]

“[Erma Bombeck] is marvelously funny, direct as a hypodermic, a virtuoso in the field of suburban living.”—Vogue

It’s the exposé to end all exposés—the truth about the suburbs: where they planted trees and crabgrass came up, where they planted the schools and taxes came up, where they died of old age trying to merge onto the freeway and where they finally got sex out of the schools and back into the gutters.Erma Bombeck was America's favorite humorist at the time of her death in 1996. Ten of her 13 books, including Forever, Erma, appeared on theNew York Timesbestseller list. She claimed her first fiction writing was the weather forecast in theDayton Herald. Her favorite food was pasta, and her hobby was dust.US
