Ten Steps to Nanette: A Memoir Situation
by Hannah Gadsby
I had really high expectations for this book. I mean look at that average rating. And I like Hannah Gadsby. I'd watched Nanette before. I'd watched Please Like Me. And I'd liked both. Gadsby's very funny. And profound.
Now, this book was good I suppose. However, it wasn't mind-blowing (like Nanette had been). But then I already sort of knew what to expect before delving into this book. The homophobia, the trauma, the suicidality, all of it. I liked getting some insights and of course I still liked Gadsby's dry and witty style and homour. But to be honest I expected a little more. I don't know what exactly and it's probably not fair to expect more, but yeah. To end on a more positive note. I really, really liked how Hannah described the relationship to her family, specifically her mother. So this book is really quite the book about family. Maybe even more so than it is about ASD or trauma.
