I know this memoir details the ways in which Hannah Gadsby's brain has not been historically valued, but truly no other brain could have produced this funny, subversive, relatable, trauma-dumpster-fire of a work. I truly believe their unique way of thinking has gotten at intersectional issues that have yet to be recognized academically, all while just trying to take up their proper space in the world and reduce the burden of trauma for people to come.

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.
