There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell: A Novel of Sewer Pipes, Pageant Queens, and Big Trouble
When her husband is offered a post at a small university, Maye is only too happy to pack up and leave the relentless Phoenix heat for the lush green quietude of Spaulding, Washington. While she loves the odd little town, there is one thing she didn’t anticipate: just how heartbreaking it would be leaving her friends behind. And when you’re a childless thirtysomething freelance writer who works at home, making new friends can be quite a challenge.
After a series of false starts nearly gets her exiled from town, Maye decides that her last chance to connect with her new neighbors is to enter the annual Sewer Pipe Queen Pageant, a kooky but dead-serious local tradition open to contestants of all ages and genders. Aided by a deranged former pageant queen with one eyebrow, Maye doesn’t just make a splash, she uncovers a sinister mystery that has haunted the town for decades.
“[Laurie Notaro] may be the funniest writer in this solar system.”

Absurd . . . But Pure Laurie Notaro
By Michelaneous by Michele - June 30, 2007Change the names, create an absurd little scenario, and call it fiction. As a fan of Notaro's essay collections, this story, "There's a (Slight) Chance I Might Be Going to Hell," didn't surprise or disappoint. It doesn't stretch too far from her roots in writing first person vignettes about a funny, irreverent woman, however, the woman in this story happens to be named "Maye." Maye is clearly a Laurie alter ego, and it helped to have read her earlier collections to get a full picture of this likeable, humble creature.
Maye and her husband, Charlie, move from Phoenix, Arizona to Spaulding, Washington, because of her husband's new job. The plot centers on Maye's insatiable quest to make new friends. She is very unsuccessful--mistaking a coven of witches for a book group, infiltrating a meeting of vegetarians only to be busted eating meat later that night, and making a fool of herself at her first faculty gathering by getting stuck in her sweater and doing a striptease of... read more
You will NOT be disappointed
By Tina Albrecht - June 1, 2007Ms. Notaro's first work of fiction is a hit! A great summer read. Fans of her earlier works will see a little bit of the author in the main character of the book, Maye Roberts, a lonely transplant to the tiny town of Spaulding, Washington. You will laugh out loud at Maye's antics on her quest to make a friend in this tight knit community with a secret in its past. I loved this book, and I think you will, too.
This is one funny woman
By Nancy Ragghianti "Princess of Trouble" - May 31, 2007Once again, Laurie Notaro makes us laugh to the point of incontinence. This is her first work of fiction, and hopefully won't be her last. Her non-fiction work is well-known to millions, and this book will not disappoint those loyal fans. You'll laugh, you'll cry from laughing, you'll recommend this book to your friends.
