Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation
by Hannah Gadsby
I wasn’t sure what to expect of this; I am a fan of Hannah’s work but had only seen short clips of shows before. This book blew the doors off, and pushed me to watch the full “Nanette” show. Astounding and profoundly moving, it inspires empathy (not sympathy, as Hannah is fiercely resilient).
I am also a late-diagnosed Autistic (and hell, probably ADHD in the mix), and I truly appreciated how she described the effect of neurodivergence on her life - struggles, coping, masking - all the bag of tricks we use to survive a world that is not receptive or inclusive. But there is much more to Hannah Gadsby than the labels she wears (and we are not talking fashion). She’s a voice who is no longer pleading for kindness and compassion, but demanding respect and common decency for everyone. She is in her prime and a person to be reckoned with. I am recommending this audiobook to everyone. Examine your humanity, and do better.
