What I was really doing was sneaking any picture where I looked sexy or cool or world‐travel‐y to the top of the pile so he’d be sure to see it. I’d dumped a couple of hundred pictures from various parts of my life in there, and while we sat and drank beers and sifted through them, I was actually only fake‐sifting through them. Indeed, the appeal of The Audacity of You! lies in the fact that we've all been there.I remember being in my twenties and hanging out in my Manhattan apartment with my boyfriend at the time, looking through a giant bowlful of photographs that I kept on a table in my living room. You'll identify with the stories and want to contribute a "The Audacity of You!" tale or two from your own experiences. The nerviest tale is of seventy-two-year-old May who shoveled her driveway while younger neighbors looked on, then left their trash on her lawn, and had the audacity to park in her driveway because it was the only one in the neighborhood that was shoveled.These and many other stories will leave you shaking your head in disbelief and muttering, "The Audacity of You!"Dominique Wilkins has used actual events to demonstrate the extent of human's rudeness, inconsideration, and downright unkindness toward friends, family, and neighbors. Readers will identify with, laugh at, and shake their heads when they read about Eugene's experience with a fellow gambler's lack of loyalty, or miserly Ernesha Olsen who refuses to share, but constantly expects handouts from others. Through a series of anecdotes, author Dominique Wilkins explores real-life scenarios where the victim's response could only be, "The audacity of you!"While the book has the potential to deteriorate into a rant about perceived slights and offenses, instead it takes a lighthearted look at the stories of those who dared such behavior. The Audacity of You! outlines situations of human inconsideration.
