The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee by Sarah Silverman

3.0

This memoir is a lot of things at once. It's Sarah Silverman doing her comedy, telling stories of her childhood, sharing her life as a stand-up/comedy writer in a world of mostly men, and her mea culpa/I'm sorry (but not really) apology letter. It's jarring and strange and sometimes hilarious and often cringeworthy. We go from the heartbreaking death of her little brother, to fart jokes, to body hair, to which racial slur is better to use in a joke on television. It's schizophrenic and odd and interesting and awful and funny and strange. I don't think I could have made it through if I was just reading it, but hearing Sarah Silverman reading it brings some delight and emotions that I don't think would have come through in just the words.
