Description
Book SynopsisEnter the mystical and magical world of the internet sensation ME Pearl, the psychic squirrel deity, and her human mouthpiece Georgette, YouTube's famous "opossum lady." Pearl is a dead squirrel who knows everything. With the aid of her earthly mouthpiece Georgette Spelvin, Pearl has been sharing her psychic wisdom with her human disciples for years, delving into topics as varied and complex as love, money, work, health, and etiquette. Once hidden in the delightful corners of the internet for the canniest lurkers and most sacred seekers on the website MEPearl.com, Pearl’s cosmology now comes to life in print for the first time ever, revealing for the masses the secret for everlasting happiness, in addition to a newly-unearthed trove of Pearl’s bewitching, incisive, and illuminating advice that makes sense of every ancient—and current—mystery. With the same “delightfully peculiar” (New York magazine) flair that has made Pearl and Georgette sensations online and had videos of them featured on shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Pearls of Wisdom welcomes readers into the bewildering and addictive world of ME Pearl—one rife with Jackie O. glamour, David Lynch lunacy, marsupial melodrama, and psychedelic spirituality. Proffering new insights on everything from wildlife to the afterlife, Pearls of Wisdom is a true sacred text for the internet age—if not eternity.
Trade Review“After a decade of entertaining YouTube viewers with bizarre videos—featuring, among other oddities, opossum massages and pedicures—wildlife rehabilitator Spelvin debuts with a work that’s just as irreverent and bemusing. . . . This absurd guide from an ‘ascended dead squirrel’ is sure to amuse those seeking a diversion from these equally strange times.” —Publishers Weekly “Georgette and MEPearl, the internet phenomena, are now forever immortalized in the tome of a book. . . . As friends of the show, we’ve had a sneak peak inside and it’s chock-full with sage advice and never-before-seen, behind-the-scene photos of Georgette.” —Messy Nessy
