I love Gadsby's comedy and how incredibly raw and honest it gets at times. I also love her storytelling format and voice. So, naturally, I listened to the audio book version (which she reads; 14 hrs.)

It's linear and it isn't--clear but unclear, then revealing and private. It is the story of someone who knows the story she needs to tell, for her own sake. Fans are simply lucky to learn about her journey, to find solace and strength with laughter and trivia along the way.

Her story is tied to the history she shares. In the same way, readers and listeners are tied to her story and history itself. This book is an experience in laughter and pain and everything else. It is Nanette.

I love everything Hannah Gadsby does and this is no exception. I will say that I felt the chronological retelling of her childhood slogged a little bit. Once I got through that and into her adult years, comedy, and creating Nanette I was absolutely hooked, could not put it down. I resonate with so many of Hannah’s experiences as a queer, autistic person who was socialized female. Highly, highly recommend. It also makes me want to rewatch Nanette (and maybe listen to the audiobook of this!).
