Graphic: Hate crime, Homophobia
I love this book, I love her. What an absolute fucking gift Hannah Gadsby is to this world. I recommend watching Nanette before reading, and again after reading.
Easy to read. Wastes a lot of words, and the tone is a little too conversational for my liking- sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Really interesting to learn some about Australia and a firsthand account of poverty. But she deliberately chooses not to write a “tell-all.” I understand not wanting to commodify trauma, but there are some missed opportunities and it feels like a bit of a tease. I mainly was interested in hearing her account of what it is like to go through life as an autistic woman, and there was not much of that either. The part of the book that focuses on that was riveting, but it tapers off rather quickly. I’m sorry but I did not care about her first story written as a child and I skipped over that part.

When I first watched Nanette as a junior in college I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I didn't know it but I had needed to see it very badly. Hearing more context about Hannah Gadsby's life and how it lead to the creation of Nanette, I need to rewatch immediately.

I loved this memoir and am looking forward to watching Nanette and other shows by Hannah. She is nothing shy of a force of fabulousness, but so humble, earnest, and forthcoming. I laughed out loud throughout and was also completely amazed at the way in which she observed, reflected, and then put her own spin on things. Her trauma was devastating to.learn about, but sadly, not surprising either. I am a fan.
