The last two sections about the composition of Nanette the comedy show is incredible in its structure. The previous eight sections are the context you need to appreciate what Gadsby is doing and why.

If you are a fan of Hannah Gadsby's performances, I highly recommend this in audiobook format. They lay their life bare, looking the hardest moments of their life directly in the face while still being kind to their "villains". That being said it is not something that everyone can read, it deals with a lot of the nuance of moving through trauma after rape or the systemic oppression of being a queer person before marriage was even a possibility. Please proceed with caution.

It's a story told honestly and gives context to the world around itself. I love how they contextualize Tasmania and the political climate of Australia in reference to their own journey through developing as an undiagnosed neurodivergent human. Hannah put forth the effort of acknowledging where their own privilege lies, and unapologetically says "please see the affected group for more on that". At it's heart, ten steps to Nanette is the directors cut of the Netflix special Nanette. The audiobook is definitely worth it on this one

A really informative look into the author's journey to creating a not-comedy show that challenged it's audience in myriad ways. The book expands on Hannah's life and the many barriers, both internally and externally, that she had to break through in order to complete Nannette, as well as the trauma and healing that the show brought her, and to an extent, her audience.
