Historia
In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an unvarnished set with the words, "Good evening. Hello. I have cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good time? I have cancer."

Historia
“Can I kiss you?” It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he’d carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.

At last, the full story behind Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's epic romance, including stories, portraits, and the occasional puzzle. How did they do it? They came from completely different families, endured a significant age difference, and were separated by the gulf of several social strata. Megan loved books and art history; Nick loved hammers. But much more than these seemingly unsurpassable obstacles were the values they held in common: respect, decency, the ability to mention genitalia in almost any context, and an abiding obsession with the songs of Tom Waits.

Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, 14 times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood.

That means sharing her perspective on performative allyship, White guilt, and what happens when White people take up space in cultural movements; exploring what it’s like to be a woman who doesn’t want kids living in a society where motherhood is the crowning achievement of a straight, cis woman’s life; and more.

Resumen del Editor
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Multi-award-winning Hannah Gadsby broke comedy with their show Nanette. Now they take us through the defining moments in their life and their powerful decision to tell the truth—no matter the cost.
Don’t miss Hannah Gadsby’s Something Special, now streaming on Netflix!
“Hannah is a Promethean force, a revolutionary talent. This hilarious, touching, and sometimes tragic book is all about where their fires were lit.”—Emma Thompson
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar, Vulture
“There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself,” Hannah Gadsby declared in their show Nanette, a scorching critique of the way society conducts public debates about marginalized communities. When it premiered on Netflix, it left audiences captivated by their blistering honesty and their singular ability to take viewers from rolling laughter to devastated silence. Ten Steps to Nanette continues Gadsby’s tradition of confounding expectations and norms, properly introducing us to one of the most explosive, formative voices of our time.
Gadsby grew up as the youngest of five children in an isolated town in Tasmania, where homosexuality was illegal until 1997. They perceived their childhood as safe and “normal,” but as they gained an awareness of their burgeoning queerness, the outside world began to undermine the “vulnerably thin veneer” of their existence. After moving to mainland Australia and receiving a degree in art history, Gadsby found themselves adrift, working itinerant jobs and enduring years of isolation punctuated by homophobic and sexual violence. At age twenty-seven, without a home or the ability to imagine their own future, they were urged by a friend to enter a stand-up competition. They won, and so began their career in comedy.
Gadsby became well known for their self-deprecating, autobiographical humor that made them the butt of their own jokes. But in 2015, as Australia debated the legality of same-sex marriage, Gadsby started to question this mode of storytelling, beginning work on a show that would become “the most-talked-about, written-about, shared-about comedy act in years” (The New York Times).
Harrowing and hilarious, Ten Steps to Nanette traces Gadsby’s growth as a queer person, to their ever-evolving relationship with comedy, and their struggle with late-in-life diagnoses of autism and ADHD, finally arriving at the backbone of Nanette: the renouncement of self-deprecation, the rejection of misogyny, and the moral significance of truth-telling.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“For fans of Gadsby, [their] delivery on the page will delight just as it does on screen. [They] remain honest, with stories that draw laughter over situations that are always based in truth—harsh or otherwise.”—Time
“A joyful read . . . Gadsby’s voice is intimate and close, and spending time with it is a lot like listening to a good friend relay a fascinating life story over a couple of pints at the bar.”—Oprah Daily
“Similar to [their] groundbreaking comedy specials Douglas and Nanette, Gadsby’s memoir reads like a conversation with a longtime friend. . . . A can’t-miss memoir that will make readers laugh, cry, and everything in between.”—Library Journal (starred review)
Featured Article: Audible Essentials—The Top 100 LGBTQIA+ Listens of All Time
While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.

With a good job in sales and marketing and a nice house in Manchester that he shared with his wife and kids, John Bishop was no different when he turned the dreaded 4-0. But instead of spanking a load of cash on a car that would have made him look like a senior stylist at Vidal Sassoon, he stumbled onto a pathway that ultimately lead him to become one of the nation's best loved comedians.

If you're a man of a certain age you'll know there comes a point in life when getting a sports car and over-analysing your contribution to society sounds like a really good idea. With a good job in sales and marketing and a nice house in Manchester that he shared with his wife and kids, John Bishop was no different when he turned the dreaded 4-0. But instead of spanking a load of cash on a car that would have made him look like a senior stylist at Vidal Sassoon, he stumbled onto a pathway that ultimately lead him to become one of the nation's best loved comedians.

Historia
In "Books and Roses", one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers' fates. In "Is Your Blood as Red as This?", an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. "'Sorry' Doesn't Sweeten Her Tea" involves a "house of locks", where doors can be closed only with a key - with surprising unobservable developments. And in "If a Book Is Locked There's Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think", a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason).

It's a report tempered by hard times. In "Matricide", Daum unflinchingly describes a parent's death and the uncomfortable emotions it provokes; and in "Diary of a Coma" she relates her own journey to the twilight of the mind. But Daum also operates in a comic register. With perfect precision, she reveals the absurdities of the marriage-industrial complex, of the New Age dating market, and of the peculiar habits of the young and digital.

Let’s face it: we all want a seat at the cool table, a great job, and loads of money. But most of us won’t be able to achieve this widely accepted, black-or-white, definition of winning, which makes us feel like failures, that we’re destined to a life of loserdom. That’s the conventional wisdom. It’s also crap, according to comedian and cult hero Chris Gethard, who knows a thing of two about losing. Failing is an art form, he argues; in fact, it’s the only the way we’re ever going to discover who we are, what we really want, and how to live the kind of life we only dreamed about.

Historia
At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, "What is wrong with my husband?!" In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.

Loved it!
Explicating the process of creating her show Nanette, Hannah Gadsby brings us along though her childhood and experiences as a young adult coming out and coming through and getting on about the business of comedy. A love letter to her mother.

An intriguing look into Hannah Gadsby and Nanette
I am reviewing this audio book from the perspective of someone who identifies with Gadsby's struggles. She and I are almost the same age, so we grew up in a similar atmosphere of social and political homophobia. Even though I am from the US, things weren't a whole lot better in my small town in Indiana than they were for her in Tasmania. I too grew up as an unacceptable outsider (a lesbian closeted even to myself) with body image issues and unfortunate run-ins with traumatic experiences. Her bold choice to stand tall and challenge the world to see the reality of one woman's struggle makes me feel empowered, seen, and a little less alone.
Unlike Hannah, I am neurotypical. Throughout the book, she provides fascinating insight into how her brain works, and how she developed into the person she is today. As she tells her story, The reader sees her go from being a person who barely copes with her "otherness" to a person who thrives and respectfully honors each facet of what makes her uniquely different from others.
I was riveted when she got to the end of the story- the part where Nanette is born and unleashed on an unsuspecting world. The description of the artistic and personal processes she used to craft and shape the show into a living, breathing thing is fascinating to me in a way I can't describe. I felt excitement, anticipation, respect, admiration, and more than a little awe. I plan to circle back and listen to that whole part again right away. I want to experience the process with her again.
If any of this resonates with you, I highly recommend this audio book.

Thought provoking and inspiring
I’m so grateful to Hannah for this book and for Nanette. I’m not sure I can express how this book impacted me.
In this book Hannah shares such deeply personal and difficult topics, some things which bear a similarity to things in my life of which I am deeply ashamed. Hearing them said out loud allowed me to consider that perhaps I’m ok as I am and don’t need to be ashamed.
I’m also blown away by the vulnerability and struck by how difficult it must have been to create and share Nanette. Makes me wonder what the world would be like if we all shared our deepest feelings and experiences.
Finally Hannah gives us a glimpse of how her mind works which gives me some insight into those around me who may experience the world in similar ways.
This book gave me greater insight into the experiences of others, was thought provoking and inspiring!
A must read

I didn't want it to end
I savoured every last minute and loved it all. Hannah Gadsby's journey is remarkable and this memoir was as brilliant as her shows. If I could give this 11 stars, I would!

Thank you Hannah
Now I need to rewatch Nanette with new eyes. One of those books that you’re sad when it’s finished.

Whew! Heavy…and worth it.
Be prepared. This, like Hannah’s stand up, is heavy. It took me longer to get through than most books- I had to take some mental breaks. Her uninhibited storytelling of her lived experiences is appreciated and needed.

Thought provoking, funny, courageous, brilliant
Hannah Gadsby’s “Ten Steps to Nanette” is as brilliant as her show “Nanette” itself. This memoir is a highly entertaining and ambitious work that explores autism, post traumatic stress, and gender stereotyping, among other weighty topics, with enormous depth and sensitivity. Gadsby‘s effort to help her reader understand her inner life is at once thought-provoking, funny, and courageous. Gadsby also pulls back the curtain on her artistic process in a way that is truly inspiring. It’s a must read for human beings.

Gads, will you please be my friend?
Just finished spending the last several days in Hannah-land. Now that I'm done, I don't know what I'll do with myself. I'm so appreciative of what Hannah shared, and of her humor and voice and just everything.
Well worth the credit. I have added Hannah to my "buy tickets immediately" list, should she choose to tour again. (Please tour again.)

Beautiful!
As a neurodivergent person, there was so much to relate to. It is a beautifully written memoir that is both funny and heartbreaking. Thank you, Hannah Gadsby!
