I wish Hannah Gadsby - who is a smart, brave, funny artist - also knew how to do specific, time-stamped trigger warnings. Shit is grim in here.

Like Nanette but for an entire book.  Exceeded my expectations and I was already delighted to see that it was read by Hannah herself.

Haven't looked into all the Pablo Picasso stuff but the "feedback" I read on it reinforces my opinion that most people would rather dog pile on someone for laughs or to signal that they're "smart" and "hip" and "cool" instead of having a single nuanced brain cell. If you didn't like whatever Hannah was saying with the Picasso exhibit just say that and move on, or just don't say anything at all! I'm tired of cruel takes. Anyways this was a good memoir and I'd read another one.

I felt so held. I hope one day I will create as freely as they did when making Nanette

What a bloody fantastic read. I loved Nanette and reading Gadsby's mémoir solidified my appreciation and love for this comedian and author (and human). The way she talks about misogyny in comedy, queer rights, and neurodiversity is poignant and provides essential content on these matters. A must read, in my opinion.

I am so glad I chose to listen to the Audible of this book, because hearing it in Hannah's voice gave me the context clues I needed to interpret her story—I really struggle to understand inflection and tone, so I always go for the option of listening to the author when given it. It took me some time to get through, because the first couple chapters are just so long, and took a lot of time for me to process. Hannah's a few years older than I am, and I found her story very relatable—minus her more violent traumas—even growing up in small town America around the same time. I felt Seen listening to this one, and I appreciated the small doses of humor that break up the heaviness. 

If you can, I think the audio is the way to go with this one. You'll be glad you did.
